ECITB CCNSG Leading a Team Safely Course

Supervising a team on site takes more than technical know-how, it takes genuine leadership skill, and the ECITB CCNSG Leading a Team Safely Course fills exactly that gap. Delivered over one day, it builds on the foundation laid by the ECITB CCNSG Safety Passport Course, giving supervisory staff and lone workers the leadership and communication skills to manage teams safely, even where formal training in either area has been limited.

The course keeps a firm health and safety emphasis throughout, focusing on the practical essentials of planning, implementing and reviewing team leadership on site. Delegates whose Safety Passport is close to expiry should also keep the ECITB CCNSG Safety Passport Renewal Course in mind, since both qualifications need to stay valid together.

For construction supervisors wanting a broader grounding in formal site supervision, this course pairs well with the CITB SSSTS Course, while anyone whose leadership role also touches on manual handling practices may find the Manual Handling Online Course a useful companion. Organisations wanting leadership expectations aligned from the top down often pair this course with the CITB Health and Safety for Directors Course for their senior team.

Candidates must hold a valid CCNSG Safety Passport to attend, along with a good understanding of the English language in both verbal and written formats. All candidates must also bring a note of their National Insurance number, along with a current UK photo card driving licence or valid passport as proof of identity; other forms of photo ID must be agreed with the provider in advance, and candidates unable to provide valid photo ID will not be accepted onto the course but will still be charged the full cost.

Successful completion ensures delegates can:

• Influence the behaviour of those they supervise
• Ensure good planning and communication of health and safety related to site work
• Help workers on site to work more safely, with lower risk to themselves and others

This course will cover the following topics:

• Strategies for working safely with others
• Tips for communicating successfully
• Leading a team effectively
• Guidelines for achieving safe outcomes
• Techniques for self-management
• An awareness of health and safety at work and responsibilities for creating a safe workplace
• An understanding of safe solutions to problems in the workplace

Delegates are required to pass a multiple-choice exam paper to successfully complete the ECITB course.
