About the CCNSG Safety Passport

The CCNSG Safety Passport course provides essential health and safety training for workers in construction, engineering, and industrial sectors. On completion, participants receive a recognised Safety Passport, allowing them to work safely and comply with industry regulations.

The nationally accredited CCNSG Safety Passport course and the scheme are designed to enable contractors to improve health, safety, and environmental awareness while at work on site. The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) accredited passport will also benefit your company by reducing accident rates and incident-related costs while putting a stop to repetitive health and safety inductions.

A Recognised Site Safety Passport & Qualification

The CCNSG Safety Passport course results in attendees acquiring a nationally recognised site safety passport and qualification. Many companies insist on personnel holding the recognised passport before allowing them access to a site or premises. The training provides basic knowledge of health and safety and complements on-site induction, enabling employees to work more safely and with lower risk to themselves and others.

This passport which was previously known as the SCATS card is valid for three years, after this period the renewal consists of a 1-day CCNSG Safety Passport Renewal. The CCNSG training scheme meets the statutory requirements of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

It’s important to make a note of the expiry date once your ECITB passport arrives to avoid having to retake this 2-day course once the passport has expired.
