Course programme
The two-day training programme covers four modules:
- Safe Behaviour at Work
- Safe Place of Work
- Safe Systems of Work
- Safety Problems and Safe Solutions
There is an additional day for supervisors, which emphasises the key role that supervisors have in securing health and safety including safety communications and risk assessments.
The course itself involves a significant amount of trainee participation. Most contractors’ personnel know something about the topics before they arrive and lively discussions are often the order of the day. In presenting the course, the trainers talk with the trainees rather than at them, giving the continuous message "If you can’t do it safely, don’t do it".
The award of the Safety Passport is subject to the candidate successfully completing a 100 question multiple-choice test paper, with the question content and level set by the participating client safety experts on the CCNSG. Successful candidates receive a plasticised photographic pass that is valid for three years. To assist the administration of the scheme, all records are computerised on a database maintained by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB).
All training providers are recommended by an industry client and are subject to review by the local CCNSG safety group and the national CCNSG. The training courses are delivered using common training materials approved by the CCNSG and tutors must be approved and registered. The high level of quality control includes auditing by an independent auditor and training costs are maintained at a minimum level.
