CITB Health & Safety Courses for Construction Workers, Supervisors & Managers
CITB training courses help construction workers, supervisors and managers improve site safety awareness, maintain compliance and meet recognised industry standards across building, civil engineering, infrastructure and contracting environments. Courses are available in classroom, online, virtual classroom and instructor-led formats for labourers, site operatives, supervisors, managers and directors working throughout the construction industry.
Most CITB courses form part of CITB Site Safety Plus — a recognised suite of health and safety qualifications covering site management, supervision, environmental awareness and director-level responsibilities. Site Safety Plus certificates are valid for five years and are widely required by principal contractors and clients across the UK. The CITB Health and Safety Awareness course, alongside the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test, is also a requirement for those applying for a CSCS Labourer card.

Construction Site Safety Topics
Site Safety Responsibilities
Construction workers, supervisors and managers all have legal responsibilities for maintaining safe working environments on site.
Risk Assessments
Risk assessments help identify construction hazards, evaluate risks and implement suitable control measures before work begins.
Working at Height
Falls from ladders, roofs, scaffolds and access equipment remain one of the leading causes of serious injuries in construction.
Temporary Works
Temporary works activities require suitable planning, supervision and coordination to reduce the risk of structural failure and collapse.
CDM Regulations
CDM regulations help improve construction planning, coordination and safety management throughout construction projects.
Manual Handling
Manual handling injuries are among the most common causes of lost time on construction sites, making correct lifting and carrying techniques essential.
