About: The CSR Health and Safety Training scheme comprises of a one-day safety awareness training, and is aimed at all construction personnel, including new entrants, to ensure that they have a basic knowledge of health and safety to comply with relevant legislation and make them aware of the inherent dangers on construction sites.

It can sometimes be referred to as the ‘site pass’ or ‘safe pass’ (ROI alternative) and is considered as ‘passport’ access onto a construction site.

To complement the training, the employer also has a statutory duty to provide information, instruction and other appropriate health and safety awareness training to employees.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have a Construction-related NVQ in your trade, you may be eligible to apply for a Skilled or Craft Specific CSR Card.
