Introduction

Our level 1 online course provides all the essential H&S training required to carry out site work. It is a requirement for certain site cards to have a level 1 qualification, some cards, depending on sector, will require it as well as skill specific safety training.

Here is a full list of site cards for which the Level 1 Qualification is recommended.

The course can also be used independently of the qualification, for example as part of site induction or for providing the foundation H&S knowledge required by apprentices who work in an associated construction trade.
