Section 2 Training for Health and Safety

June 2013

IntroductionThe construction industry is labour intensive and as such should regard its staff as one of its major resources. It is important that when improving the quality of the industry, the skills and the knowledge of its personnel are also improved. Successive studies carried out by the Health & Safety Executive have concluded that a significant factor in the cause of accidents is a lack of training of the people involved. Training for health and safety should form part of the overall management system within any company. There are different types and levels of health and safety training, and health and safety training is often an integral part of trade or management training. In addition to providing appropriate training it is also necessary to ensure that the training has been absorbed, understood and is put into practice. Appropriate training helps people acquire the skills, knowledge and attitude that contribute towards making them competent in the health and safety aspects of their work. Such training should be supplemented by the application of skills and knowledge and understanding of the activities involved and how they affect themselves and others. This combination of training, skills and knowledge leads to a level of competence and it is the level of competence that is important when assessing an employees capability to perform a particular task.

Specific RequirementsIn general terms The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HASAWA) imposes a duty on employers to ensure that employees receive the necessary instruction, information and training to enable them to perform their functions correctly. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (MHSW) expand this obligation. These Regulations establish more detailed requirements linking training with the capability to perform a particular task. Under the MHSW Regulations personnel must receive training on induction i.e. when first recruited and also before they are exposed to new or increased risks. These may be due to, for example, a change of responsibility, change of work location, a change in working methods or new equipment. The MHSW Regulations also refer to the need for the training to be repeated periodically, where necessary, and it must take place during working hours. Other regulations also require training or a level of competence, and these are usually related to specific activities e.g. the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations, the Control of Lead at Work Regulations, the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations, First Aid at Work Regulations, Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations etc.

Who should receive the training?The requirement for health and safety training applies to all levels of management and to operatives. This includes all workers on a project such as Company Directors, Quantity Surveyors, Engineers, Designers, Office Staff and all site staff. The majority of employees have some form of responsibility for health and safety e.g. as a designated Fire Warden or a First Aider, and they also have the more general obligation to comply with the Company Health and Safety Policy. The type of health and safety training provided must be relevant to the person receiving the training. When considering training courses it is important to determine what the training should achieve and any follow up procedures should ensure that the training actually achieves those objectives.

Who should provide the training?In setting up training courses, it will be necessary to determine

Training for Health and Safety

whether the delegates should attend external public courses or whether the training should be carried out in-house. Whoever carries out the training should be competent in both the subject matter and in presenting the information in an appropriate format. The use of an in-house trainer has its advantages because the courses can be tailored to suit the individual needs of the delegates and can reflect the particular policies and procedures of the company. The advantages of an external training provider are that lateral thinking may be encouraged and discussion with personnel from different companies can increase the knowledge and experience of delegates.

InductionAn induction should not be considered as training, but more of a familiarisation session prior to starting work in a new environment. Induction to a construction environment should take place before a person is permitted to work on site and should cover site and project specific information. Appendix 1 contains information that should be given during a site induction. Operatives should be advised of the role that they have to play to ensure that appropriate standards of health and safety are maintained and how to communicate any issues regarding health and safety on the project or site. Induction sessions are ideal opportunities for reviewing the qualifications held by those due to work on the site and identifying if they are appropriate for the activity that is to be carried out.

Toolbox TalksAlthough not training, toolbox talks are an extremely useful means of updating and refreshing previous training that has been received. Toolbox talks are usually specific to a particular activity or subject and are of short duration (30-60 minutes). CITB has produced a selection of cards for use as prompts when carrying out toolbox talks which are available from www.cskills.org/supportbusiness/publications.

First Line SupervisionFirst line supervisors are those people at the first level in an organisation who have responsibilities over the work of others. Supervisors have a key role in the implementation, monitoring and enforcement of health and safety practices on site as they put others to work and directly supervise how work is carried out. Those fulfilling the role of first line supervisor should have received training in supervisory skills as well as health and safety so that they can prepare and give instructions to operatives and others and explain the hazards associated with a particular operation. Additionally, the first line supervisor will have to respond in a suitable way to hazards which they themselves identify, are identified by operatives or during inspections. The major contractors within the industry have agreed a training standard that requires supervisors to have the ability to demonstrate that they have sufficient knowledge of health and safety gained on a construction specific course of at least two days duration and that the individual has sufficient skills to be an effective supervisor of their workers including an understanding of behavioural issues, leadership and effective intervention skills. CITB runs a two day Construction Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) which meets these criteria and provides an introduction to health and safety, welfare and environmental issues. It is designed for those who require an understanding of the current legislation that applies to them and their work activities.

The latest information on the training standards required by the major contractors is available at www.ukcg.org.uk/activities/health-safety/training-standard

Site ManagementSite management includes project managers, site agents, engineers, works managers and general foremen. Where contract managers spend significant time on site management duties, their training requirements will be similar and there are a variety of courses available. CITB runs a five day Construction Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS). This requires successful completion of the 37 hour course with a training provider accredited by CITB and an examination in which course members are required to reach, or exceed, a minimum level of achievement. The course can be taken over a period of five consecutive days, as day release for one day, for five weeks, or in exceptional circumstances, by three-and-a-half hour sessions for 14 nights. The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) also runs a four day course Managing safely suitable for site management.Such courses cover: an introduction to health and safety management the responsibilities of managers and supervisors measuring, monitoring and auditing health and safety performance the provision of information and training the control of hazards and risks Health and safety training for site managers should include the following: An understanding of the general duties under HASAWA,

together with knowledge of the requirements of the MHSW and CDM Regulations

Information on the powers of inspectors and the penalties which might be imposed for breach of statutory duty

The range of health and safety legislation relating to the work being carried out and of other sources of information which may support or explain that legislation

Obligations under civil law Accidents and accident prevention - a comprehensive

understanding of the types of accident which occur on site. The techniques, which can be applied at site level in order to minimise those risks, should be covered in some detail. An understanding of the costs of accidents will be of value

Accident reporting procedures - a comprehensive understanding of incident/accident reporting procedures and the use of the new RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations) online reporting system

Health and safety planning - a comprehensive understanding of the concept and practice of risk assessment as part of the overall health & safety planning of site activities

CDM - the legal standing and detailed content of a health and safety plan must be fully understood by those who will represent the principal contractor under the CDM Regulations

Effective methods of implementing and enforcing measures aimed to ensure the health and safety of workers and others. This will include the management of sub-contractors and their interface with others on site, establishing lines of communication so that health and safety matters can be raised at the appropriate time and level

Site inspection skills so that effective monitoring of health and safety provision can be undertaken and effective methods of rectification can be understood

An understanding of the skills and training required by the personnel on site, whether they are directly employed or sub-contracted

Specific issues relevant to the organisations activities eg. Manual handling Welfare facilities Access and egress requirements (including unauthorised

access to site) Protective clothing and equipment First aid provisions Working at height Work in excavations

Having completed the core training for site managers, consideration should be given to training in specific issues dependent upon the type of work undertaken. Detailed training is likely to include such matters as: Scaffolding Cranes Plant and equipment Excavations Occupational health Power (electricity, LPG, etc.) CDM

Health and Safety ProfessionalsA health and safety manager/officer/adviser is a professional, fully trained and experienced in matters of health, safety and welfare related to the Industry. Part of the management team, their role is to provide adequate advice to those with responsibility for safety in the workplace, to promote and encourage the planning and implementation of effective measures essential in minimising risk and the reduction of accidents. The National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) provides a variety of qualifications appropriate for the construction industry consisting of a National Certificate in Construction Safety and Health (course and examination), the National Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health parts 1 and 2 and the National Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Practice. NEBOSH can be contacted on 0116 263 4700 or at www.NEBOSH.org.uk. The recognised professional organisation for health and safety practitioners is the Institution of Occupational Safety, Health and members can be recognised by the designatory letters IOSH which may be preceded by a variety of letters which determines the category of membership. Chartered Fellow (CFIOSH) and Chartered Members (CMIOSH) are required to maintain a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) record. Graduate IOSH (Grad IOSH) members are academically qualified to become Chartered Members, but are currently completing a mandatory IPD and CPD cycle. Technician Members (Tech IOSH) are usually engaged in crucial operational health and safety roles and a version of CPD specifically tailored to them is mandatory for Technician Members to maintain their status. IOSH can be contacted on 0116 257 3100 or at www.IOSH.co.uk The Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register (OSHCR) contains details of consultants that have met a minimum standard of a degree level qualification, at least two years experience and an active engagement in a CPD scheme. Consultants on the register are bound by their professional bodys code of conduct. Businesses that use the register to find a consultant will be able to find details of those with experience in their type of work who give general advice on how to manage health and safety risks. These consultants will have had their qualifications and experience assessed by their professional body. To find an OSHCR consultant visit www.oshcr.org.

Safety representativesThe Safety Representatives and Safety Committees Regulations 1977 require employers to give employees, appointed as safety representatives by recognised trades unions, such time off with pay as is necessary for training in their functions as safety representatives. The TUC has taken the initiative by developing a scheme of training the syllabus of which has been programmed in courses of either five or ten days duration. These courses contain a strong emphasis on industrial relations procedures, safety legislation and safety practices.

Industry recognised schemesThe following sections summarise common industry recognised schemes.

Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS)CSCS maintains a central record of people who have been deemed to be competent in their occupation and have passed the recognised health and safety test within the last 5 years. The scheme aims to encourage clients and contractors to use operatives and crafts people, supervisors and managers who are certified as competent. There are over 260 occupations covered by the CSCS scheme and the list of occupations is continually under review. A list of the occupations covered at the time of printing is attached at Appendix 2. For an up to date list of the occupations covered contact the CSCS helpline on 0844 576 8777 or visit www.cscs.uk.com/occupations. The CSCS card belongs to the person named on the card and is issued to applicants who meet the schemes requirements. Printed on the card is a photograph of the cardholder, his or her name, CSCS Registration Number and details of the construction qualifications that they hold. There are a number of different types of card the main types are detailed below: A yellow card is a site visitor card and shows that the person

has passed the health and safety test. A white and grey card shows that the holder is in a

Construction Related Occupation (CRO) and has passed the health and safety test. Holders of the CRO cards are skilled in an occupation that does not have a related NVQ/SVQ and therefore they are unable to register for a NVQ/SVQ and obtain a red or blue card.

A green card is available to operatives who carry out basic site skills only e.g. Labourers.

There are two ways to apply for this card: via NVQ level 1; or by employers recommendations (industry accreditation). The employer must use the industry accreditation competencies when assessing the applicant.

All applicants must have passed the construction Health, Safety and Environment test. For those who have completed the working at heights Health & Safety test, this can be printed on the card.

A red card - Trainee - Craft and Operative - shows that the card holder has passed the Health, Safety and Environment test, and is registered for an NVQ/SVQ but has not yet reached level 2.

A red card - Trainee (Technical, Supervisory and Management) - shows that the card holder has passed the Health, Safety and Environment test and provided evidence of current registration with a further/higher education college or university for a nationally recognized construction related qualification

A red card - Experienced Technician, Supervisor or Manager - this card is available to Supervisors and Managers who have passed the Health, Safety and Environment test and have on

the job Experience (normally at least one year in the last three) but missed the industry accreditation opportunity, does not hold NVQ/SVQ level 3, 4 or 5 or is not a member of a professional body.

A red card - Experienced Worker - is for everyone who has passed the Health, Safety and Environment test and has experience within the construction industry but no formal qualifications. Applicants must provide proof that they have at least one-years on-site experience in the last three years and register for an NVQ/SVQ level 2 or 3. Cards are currently valid for one year (trades) or three years (technical or manager) and cannot be renewed.

A red graduate card is for those who have passed the Health, Safety and Environment test and have graduate or equivalent membership of an Approved Professional Body. A list of these bodies can be viewed at www.cscs.uk.com/professions

A blue card - Skilled Worker - shows that the person has achieved an NVQ/SVQ Level 2 or equivalent or holds an experienced worker card.

A blue card - Craft Unit Level card - is for occupations where a full NVQ/SVQ does not exist, but trade specific units do.

A gold card - Skilled Worker - shows that the person has achieved an NVQ/SVQ Level 3 or equivalent or has supervisory status.

A gold card - Supervisor - is available for supervisory and technical occupations only.

A black card shows that the person has achieved an NVQ/SVQ Level 4/5 or equivalent and has managerial status.

A PQP card (white and yellow) shows that the person is a corporate or equivalent member of an Approved Professional Body and has passed the Managerial and Professional Health, Safety and Environment test.

The scope of the PQP card has just recently been redefined, and no longer has a time spent on site restriction placed on it.

Applying for CSCS CardsThe card application process will vary depending on which card/s you are applying for. To find out more visit www.cscs.uk.com/cards/how-to-apply-for-a-cscs-card or call the CSCS Helpdesk on 0844 576 8777.

CSCS SmartCardsIn 2010 CSCS started issuing cards that included smartchips and all new CSCS cards are now SmartCards. The smartchips contain the information that is held about cardholders on the CSCS database and it can be accessed using card readers or smartphones that have NFC technology. The aim of adding this facility is to improve safety and security by making card checking to ensure that cards are genuine and valid both easier and quicker. CSCS SmartCards can also be used to act as a key to contractors, and others, databases so that the cards can be used for a wide variety of applications such as recording training and induction data, attendance at toolbox talks and even as access control cards. There is more information at www.cscs.uk.com/smartcard

Health, Safety and Environment testThe CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test, which replaced the Health and Safety test in April 2012, is aimed at raising standards across the industry. It is required to gain or renew a CSCS card and ensures that workers have a minimum level of health, safety and environmental awareness before going on site. The test has been in operation for over 10 years and has undergone significant improvements for 2012 including an enhanced test and a new

Migrant WorkersMigrant workers should be qualified to the same standards as the domestic workforce and will need to pass the Health, Safety and Environment Test and qualify for an appropriate skills card using the same process as UK workers. Employers have a legal obligation to ensure all workers remain safe on site and this can be more challenging when employing migrant workers. In addition to assessing the risk to the workforce in the normal way, employers should also consider the differences in construction processes, culture, legislation and materials between countries, when assigning work to migrant workers. Additional support that can be provided includes: Makinguseofmultilingualpublications Puttingworkersonadditionalhealth&safetycourses Undertakingformalinductions CarryingoutToolBoxTalksonkeyhealthandsafetyissues Encouraging migrant workers to attend English (ESOL)

classes Considering possible technical differences between theUK

and the home country when briefing workers Translatingkeydocumentsintorelevantlanguages Using interpreters if workers do not speak or understand

English. The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) has a Migrant Worker microsite with content dedicated to employers that is available in several languages www.hse.gov.uk/migrantworkers/. The HSE also provides guidance on Health & Safety legislation through its website www.hse.gov.uk. There are many publications available in several languages.

National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ/SVQ)National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) (or SVQs in Scotland) are work-related competence based qualifications. They assess what an individual can do compared to national standards and recognise their level of expertise. A person may attain an NVQ at any stage in their career. Vocational qualifications are made up of units and each unit is a self-contained, practical target. Units are selected and can be completed at any time. Following completion of a unit a Certificate of Unit Credit is awarded. On completion of a defined number of relevant units, a full vocational qualification is awarded. There is also a mandatory unit of health and safety included in all levels of NVQ.

The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF)QCF is the new framework for creating and accrediting qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, for any registrations from September 2010. It is at the heart of a major

reform to the vocational qualifications system which will become simpler to understand and use. In the QCF, everything learnt is valuable. All qualifications in the QCF are made up of smaller units of learning. Every unit and qualification has a credit value (showing how much time it takes to complete - one credit represents 10 hours) and a level between entry level and level 8 shows how difficult it is. They remain work related competence based qualifications. NVQ will still appear in the title of the qualification and Levels 2 and 3 will still be seen but will now be known as e.g. CITB Awards Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Specialist Concrete Operations (Construction) Concrete Drilling and Sawing. (Table 2)

Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS)The Construction Plant Competence Scheme or CPCS (updated September 2011) is the recognised card scheme for the plant industry covering all the categories of plant listed in Appendix 3. The CPCS is competency based and as well as proving that operators are qualified to operate plant, it shows that the operator has practical experience. All candidates who are applying for a CPCS card must agree to sign the CPCS terms and conditions and meet the requirements of the scheme. The aim of the CPCS is to provide identification for plant operators and those involved with plant operations by recognizing skills, knowledge and understanding, competence and qualification.Red card - Trained Operator - a two year trained operator card that is not renewable for those who have demonstrated a level of: 1. Health and Safety awareness through passing the CITB

Health, Safety and Environment Test 2. Knowledge and understanding through the CPCS theory

test 3. Operator ability through the CPCS practical testBlue card - Competent Operator Card A five year card which is renewable for those who have demonstrated a level of: 1. Health and Safety awareness through passing the CITB

Health, Safety and Environment test 2. Knowledge and Understanding through the CPCS theory

test 3. Operator ability through the CPCS practical test 4. Proven operator competence through relevant NVQ/SVQ

qualificationsThe fundamental difference between the two cards is whether vocational qualifications have been achieved. There are two routes of entry into the scheme which will lead to the attainment of Competent Operator Card: 1. Direct to Competent Operator Card 2. Through Trained Operator Card process to Competent

Operator Card (a two stage process)Operators joining the scheme should consider which route is most appropriate for them; this decision should be based on factors like skills, competence, qualification and immediacy of need. To renew a Competent Operator Card the operator is required to; 1. Pass CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test 2. Pass CPCS plant operator renewal test for each category 3. Demonstrate on-going practical operating experience

through a choice of routes: - CPCS practical test. - On-site assessment. - Operators Logbook (300 hours logged). - Hold a valid Competent Operator Card.

There have been some changes to the CSCS card names to bring the cards in line with the NVQ names. New and renewed cards will be issued under the new name however existing cardholders will continue to hold cards in the old names and they remain valid until their expiry date.

In addition to the occupations below a number of industry schemes have affiliated to CSCS. These are:ACE (ECITB) Engineering Construction OperativesCCDO - Certificate of Competence of Demolition OperativesCISRS - Construction Industry Scaffolders Record SchemeCPCS Construction Plant Certification SchemeCSR - Construction Skills Registration Northern IrelandECS - Electrotechnical Certification SchemeESS Engineering Services Skillcard Heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration personnelEUSR Energy & Utilities Skills RegisterJIB-PMES - Joint Industry Board for Plumbing and Mechanical ServicesSNIJB - Scottish and Northern Irish Joint Industry BoardThere is more information about these schemes at http://www.cscs.uk.com/affiliated-schemes

Each CSCS card is distinguished by its colour, which relates to the equivalent level NVQ and/or occupationWhite and grey card - construction related occupation with no

NVQ availableGreen card - Basic Skills/General OperativeRed card - Trainee graduate, experienced worker,

supervisor or managerBlue cards - NVQ/SVQ level 2Gold card - NVQ/SVQ level 3 (includes supervisors)

Visitors CardTwo types of Visitors Card are also available for CSCS. They provide an aid to controlling access to Construction Sites for regular and for occasional site visitors whose occupations are not covered by other cards in the CSCS range.

RegularVisitorsCard-YellowConstructionSiteVisitorscardsareavailable for applicants who pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test, complete the application and submit it with a photo and relevant payment. They may be found useful for a range of personnel such as suppliers representatives or delivery drivers who frequently visit sites.

Occasional Visitors Card - A double size visitor card is available in packs of 10 with neck chain. These may simply be ordered from CSCS and issued temporarily to visitors under contractors own rules on their sites. No qualifications or tests are involved other than required by the issuing body (e.g. the contractor at the site gate). Important note for both visitor cards: the issue of a regular or occasional visitor card does not exempt the employer from their legal responsibilities to ensure the health, safety and welfare of people visiting their construction sites. The current CSCS occupations are detailed below by the appropriate type of Health, Safety and Environment test.
