After You Pass The CITB Course

You won’t just have a certificate.
You’ll notice hazards faster.
Work more confidently.
Understand instructions better.
Training doesn’t make you slower.
It makes you safer and more employable.

Training staff costs less than accidents.
One incident means:
Lost time
Paperwork
Investigations
Insurance increases
Possible prosecution

A trained worker spots hazards before they become problems.
Courses don’t stop productivity - they protect it.

CITB For Experienced Workers
Been on site years?
This course isn’t about starting again.
It’s about updating knowledge, law changes, and correcting habits that creep in over time.
Accidents happen to experienced workers, not just new starters.
Refresh the knowledge and look after your safety.

CITB For New Starters
Starting construction can feel overwhelming.
Different trades
Different risks
Different rules
The CITB course explains not just what the rules are and WHY they exist.
Once you understand the reason behind safety, the test becomes easier and the job becomes safer.

What is a CITB Course?
A CITB course isn’t just a certificate.
It’s proof you understand how people actually get hurt on site - and how to stop it happening.
Construction is one of the highest-risk industries in the UK.
The training isn’t there to tick a box. It’s there so everyone goes home after a days work.

An alarm sounding isn’t the outcome - it’s the trigger.

The real question is:
What does the building do after it activates?

Cause & effect is what turns detection into protection.
If nothing reacts when the system goes into alarm, it’s just noise, not safety.

You should be checking:
• Doors release correctly
• Smoke control operates
• Lifts return to ground
• Plant shuts down
• The right people receive the alert

Before you assess fire risk, you need to know the plan.

The fire strategy tells you:
• How occupants evacuate
• What protects escape routes
• What systems activate
• What the building is designed to do in a fire

The risk assessment checks whether reality matches that plan.

No strategy = no benchmark.

And without a benchmark, you can’t judge safety.

First Aid - Severe Bleeding

Severe bleeding can be fatal in minutes.

Don't panic. Remember this:
Pressure
Pressure
More pressure

If blood soaks through - do NOT remove the dressing.
Add another dressing over it and keep the pressure

(image is not a severe bleed example)

People often treat a Fire Risk Assessment and a compliance audit as the same thing.

They’re not.

A Fire Risk Assessment asks:
“What could start a fire, who is at risk, and would our controls actually work?”

A compliance audit asks:
“Do we have the documents we’re supposed to have?”

One challenges reality.
The other checks paperwork.

You need both - but only one prevents the fire.
