Health and Safety Awareness

This one-day Health and Safety Awareness course is designed to aid the understanding of potential hazards the construction worker may face on site. It provides a practical summary of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues. It identifies the candidates responsibilities for looking after themselves and others, outlines the employers duties and explains what should be done if the worker thinks that anyones health and safety is being put at risk. The course is an ideal foundation for those wishing to obtain an industry site card. It is also an alternative route to the QCF Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment for the CSCS Labourer Card. The course provides health and safety awareness and is endorsed by Build UK as standard training for all operatives on site.  The aim of the course is to ensure the individual responsibilities of the worker are understood:

·        Why they are carrying out their identified duties.

·        What is expected of them.

·        How they contribute to the safety of the workplace. 

Candidates taking this course should be able to achieve all the learning outcomes listed below by the end of the course:

Candidates must be competent in English at operative level. The course content is suited to all ability

levels. 

Assessment will be by an end of course examination. The candidate must pass the exam to achieve certification for this course. The examination paper forms the basis of the assessment as to whether or not a candidate has successfully achieved a satisfactory level of health and safety awareness to allow a certificate of achievement to be issued. 

The question paper consists of 25 multiple-choice questions: 20 questions are worth one mark each and 5 questions are worth two marks each. The candidates must obtain 25 marks out of 30 (83%) or more to pass the examination.

The examination lasts 30 minutes and must be completed within this time. This is a closed book exam.

Re-sit

If a candidate is unsuccessful in achieving 25 marks out of 30 (83%) it results in a fail.  The candidate may re-sit the multiple-choice examination.  The examination can either be retaken on the same day or the candidate can attend another course within a 90 day period (the candidate is not obliged to re-sit the day’s course).

When a candidate scores 18 marks out of 30 (60%) or less in the examination, the candidate must attend the full Health and Safety Awareness course again before they are allowed to re-sit the examination.

A charge is payable for the resit however, if done on the day of the course, Allenby Training Services Limited will waive the charge for the first resit. If a delegate has to come back on a different date to re-sit the exam, the charge is £45.00 plus VAT. The re-sit exam date will be a date to be set by Allenby Training Services Limited. 

On successful completion of the course, all paperwork will be submitted to Site Safety Plus who will issue electronic certificates, which can take 7 to 21 days.  

This course alone will not get you a CSCS Green Labourers card, you also need to complete a CITB Health, Safety & Environment test. It is the responsibility of the candidate to order their own CSCS card. A CSCS card can be ordered online www.cscs.uk.com/applying-for-cards/ or by telephoning CSCS on 0344 994 4777.
