This Level 1 qualification is designed to provide candidates with fundamental knowledge and understanding of health and safety in a construction environment. 

Successful achievement of this qualification will demonstrate an individual’s knowledge and understanding of the health and safety requirements of a construction site and, together with achievement of the CITB Operative Health, Safety and Environment Test, will enable individuals to obtain the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) Labourers’ Green Card.

The Learning Outcomes and assessment criteria for the qualification were developed by industry experts from CSCS’s Card Management Committee following a recommendation that all workers on construction sites should be formally qualified.
