Site Safety Plus Classroom Course

Health and Safety Awareness (HSA)

Kick-start your construction career and qualify for the CSCS Green Labourer Card.

Course overview

The Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) course introduces operatives to the essentials of construction site safety and is the preferred classroom route to the CSCS Green Labourer Card.

It blends toolbox-style discussions with real-world hazard spotting so new entrants can recognise risks, control measures and legal responsibilities from day one.

Frequently asked questions

Is the HSA course a full day?

Yes. Most providers deliver it as a one-day session with group activities and the multiple-choice test at the end of the afternoon.

Can I take HSA online?

CITB offers an eCourse version, but this classroom page focuses on the tutor-led option ideal for learners who prefer face-to-face coaching.

Does HSA expire?

The certificate lasts for five years. After that you should retake HSA or an equivalent Level 1 health and safety qualification before renewing your CSCS card.
