What this training is — and isn’t

  • It is awareness training that gives your team a shared understanding of the risks and safe practice.
  • It helps evidence the “Health & safety awareness” section of your training matrix.
  • It isn’t a replacement for CSCS, CITB, IPAF, PASMA or other recognised qualifications, or for competence, practical assessment and site-specific instruction for higher-risk tasks.
