CITB Health and Safety Awareness: Your First Step into Construction

At MBO Safety Services, we are proud to support individuals taking their first steps into the construction industry. One of the most essential courses for new starters is the CITB Health and Safety Awareness course: a foundational training designed to equip workers with the knowledge they need to stay safe on site. 

🛠️ Who Should Take This Course? 

This course is ideal for: 

  • Labourers and operatives new to the construction industry 
  • Individuals looking to apply for their Green Labourer CSCS Card 
  • Employers seeking to ensure their workforce meets basic health and safety standards 

Whether you are just starting out or looking to formalise your experience, this course is a must-have for anyone working on a construction site. 

📋 Why Is It Important? 

Construction sites are dynamic environments with a range of potential hazards. The CITB Health and Safety Awareness course helps participants: 

  • Understand the importance of health and safety in the workplace 
  • Recognise common risks and how to manage them 
  • Learn about legal responsibilities and site procedures 
  • Build confidence to work safely and responsibly 

Completing this course is not just about ticking a box, it is about protecting yourself and those around you. 

🎯 A Requirement for the Green Labourer CSCS Card 

To obtain a Green Labourer CSCS Card, you must complete the CITB Health and Safety Awareness course and pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test. This card is essential for accessing most construction sites in the UK and demonstrates that you have the basic knowledge required to work safely.
