Newport - Expression of Interest: Health and Safety Awareness (HSA)

🚧 Want to Get Into Construction? Start Here! 🦺

Thinking about a job in construction but not sure where to begin? This starter course is the perfect first step. We are currently gathering expressions of interest from groups and individuals who would like to take part .

⭐ What is it?

A relaxed, beginner‑friendly training session that teaches you the basics of staying safe on a construction site. It’s based on the official CITB Health & Safety Awareness course — the one people take before getting their CSCS Labourer Card.

But don’t worry — this version is easier, more flexible, and designed to help you build confidence first.

🧱 Why join?

You’ll learn things like:

• How to stay safe on site

• What PPE is and how to use it

• How to spot hazards

• Fire safety

• Working at height

• How to protect your health at work

It’s all real‑world stuff you’ll actually use.

🎓 What happens next?

Once you finish this starter course, you can choose to move on to the full accredited CITB course — the one that leads to the CSCS card. This gives you a clear progression route into real construction jobs.

🏫 Where does it take place?

You can do the course:

• At the college with a tutor, or

• At your organisation, where we can bring a tutor to you

We make it easy for you to get involved.
