Learning Objectives
NPORS Safety Awareness (S001) Course
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 Aim
This course provides health and safety awareness and is endorsed by Build UK as standard training for all operatives on site.
PLEASE NOTE: Both the NPORS and CITB versions of this course provide the same course content and qualification and are accepted in exactly the same way – only the awarding bodies differ.
Course Overview
The NPORS 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.
