This RQF Level 1 course on health & safety in construction has been designed for learners working in - or wanting to work in - the construction industry. It is a lifetime qualification and never has to be renewed - meaning you only ever have to do it once.
The qualification can be used to apply for a CSCS Labourer Card (aka CSCS Green Card) and is a vital step to take before sitting the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test for Operatives.
Most employers will require evidence that employees can work on a construction site safely. A CSCS Labourer Card is recognised throughout the UK as proof that a worker has knowledge of the key principles of health and safety that they need.
Construction sites are by no means the safest places to work in. However, training in health and safety principles helps to avoid accidents and keep workers safe.
