This course is for you if you:

You will learn how to:
- keep yourself and others safe onsite
- develop an understanding of their health and safety responsibilities.
Part one (Behavioural safety):
- identify the reasons to be safe
- recognise how role models influence the actions of other workers
- make health and safety positive through your conversations

- mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs)

- identify how to select, set up and use a ladder safely.
At the end of the course, you'll complete a Review of Understanding. This is a set of multiple-choice questions that check your understanding of the key concepts learned during the course.
If you pass, you will be issued a digital Site Safety Card, valid for 2 years.
A Site Safety Card, valid for 2 years. Most major New Zealand contractors require workers to have a valid Site Safety Card before entering a construction site.
You'll get 4 Licensed Building Practitioner points.
You'll also get 3 credits towards our Health and Safety in Construction certificate programme.
