ECITB - CCNSG Safety Passport Course

Overview

The CCNSG Safety Passport course is a nationally recognised qualification which has been designed to offer mandatory and essential basic knowledge to personnel who work on construction and engineering sites.  This 2 day course will cover a variety of topics to enable contractors to improve health, safety and environmental awareness.

Many companies require personnel to have completed this safety course and a company induction before allowing them access to a site or premises.  Combining the training with a site induction enables employees and contractors to work more safely and with a lower risk to themselves and others.  The CCNSG card is valid for 3 years after which a 1 day CCNSG Renewal course must be taken.

This Client Contractor National Safety Group course meets the Health & Safety executive statutory requirements.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION:  All candidates must take with them to the course either a current UK photo card driving license or current travel passport as proof of identity. Any other type of photo ID must be agreed to before the course date. If a candidate fails to provide photographic ID they will not be accepted on the course, but will still be charged the full cost.

Delegates are also required to take a note of their National Insurance number and 2 Passport size photographs on the first day of the course.
