Construction Health & Safety Awareness

The online digital– multiuser eBook version provides training providers with a flexible approach to purchasing multiple copies of the HSA workbook at one time. 

The Construction Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) workbook is designed for people who are new to the construction industry. It provides basic health, safety and environment steps that you and your employer should be following on your site.  This is the official publication for CITB's Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) one-day course. It is a mandatory course publication – every delegate must have their own copy for the duration of the course.

At the beginning of each chapter there is a summary of what to expect at your site and from your employer and what is expected of you. Clear illustrations are included as well as practical guidance for construction workers, and also includes embedded, mandatory exercises that must be completed during the course.

A free to access webpage is also available on our website and this supports the publication and provides updates to the current edition along with the latest advice, guidance and links to related websites. To view the SSP support materials pages on the CITB website, please click here.
