NPORS Site Safety Awareness (SSA)

Construction Safety Awareness Course has been mapped as a full equivalent to the QCF Level 1 Award Health and Safety in a Construction Environment. This means that in addition to plant operators undertaking this course, labourers who have achieved the NPORS Site Safety Awareness Course can apply for the CSCS Green Labourers Card once they have also passed the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Operatives Test.

This course highlights potential hazards when working on site and provides practical advice on keeping yourself and your colleagues safe. It covers your individual and employer’s responsibilities, including what you can do if you think anyone’s health and safety is being put at risk.

Course Duration: 7 hours

On completion of the course, the delegate will have an understanding of the following:

•  The need to prevent accidents
• Health and safety law
• How your role fits into the control and management of the site
• Risk assessments and method statements
• Performing safely and asking for advice
• How to report unsafe acts to prevent an accident
• Duration of course and certificate validation

This course provides Health and Safety awareness and is endorsed by Build UK as standard training for all operatives on site.

Upon successfully completing the course, delegates will be awarded a NPORS Construction Site Safety Awareness certificate. This qualification must be renewed every five years by attending a Refresher course, but this must be completed before your current
certificate expires.
