The course is continually modified to remain up-to-date with the latest industry legislation.

The Course Content Of FACT’s Health & Safety Course

Our health and safety training course formally recognised as the Health and Safety Awareness & Level 1 Qualification course, is ideal for anyone looking to get into the fencing, highways or construction sector. Furthermore, this course is also an ideal pathway for those currently working within the industry looking to renew their Bue or Green FISS/CSCS or CSCS cards. The content of the Health and Safety Awareness & Level 1 Qualification is as follows:

  • Development of your current level of knowledge of health and safety legislation.
  • How to combine your knowledge with the best industry practices.
  • How to use what you’ve learnt in practical applications.

The Structure Of FACT’s Health & Safety Course

The Health and Safety Awareness & Level 1 Qualification course will begin with an overview of legislation in the construction sector and how you should comply with them. From there, we’ll teach you some of the most common hazards in the workplace and how you can identify them to avoid risk or injury. Alongside this, we will also teach how the work you’ll be doing affects the environment, so you can work in a conscious manner.

Passing the assessment for the Level 1 Health & Safety Award exam or equivalent and the CITB Operatives touch screen test are mandatory to enable you to gain your FISS/CSCS card or CSCS card.

The End Results Of Completing FACT’s Health & Safety Course

Following successful completion of our course, the certification lasts for five years. However, if you wish to apply for a CSCS or FISS CSCS card, it must be within the first two years of certification. We are a CITB touch screen test centre, meaning you can book absolutely everything you need for a Green card on the same day and in the same place. Get in touch today for more information, or you can find out more about our health and safety training online.

Online – One day Health & Safety training with Level 1 award – this is delivered via Zoom with a live trainer, so you can ask questions and interact with the other delegates.

Attendance must be via a laptop or computer with a working camera and microphone. NOT an iPad or iPhone. Be in a quiet place for the day, with no interruptions. You must have photographic ID available to show the trainer.

We can also book your CITB Operative touch screen test after the course , at a location close to you and apply for your card, either FISS/CSCS or CSCS card.
