COURSE CERTIFICATION
Advanced Safety Training Services is recognised by the ECITB as a Centre for the CCNSG Nationally Accredited Safety Passport.

It is required by power generation sites, refineries, petrochemical sites, process industries and many other sites such as paper mills before entry on the site will be permitted.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
These courses are delivered by specialist Health and Safety lecturers who are accustomed to working with a wide range of trainee abilities. All lecturers who deliver these courses have to undergo training in the delivery of this course and hold a trainer qualification issued by the Safety Trainers’ Forum as well as being professionally qualified lecturers. The aim of the courses is to raise the Health and Safety awareness of all concerned, not to produce Health and Safety experts.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS
This course is for anyone requiring a Safety Passport, when carrying out repairs or maintenance on Client sites.

All delegates must produce their National Insurance number, plus two passport-size photographs.

COURSE CONTENT
The course content is determined by the CCNSG and reflects the knowledge that the clients require of any contractor who enters their site. It is intended to supplement rather than replace site specific induction.

The instruction is theoretical rather than practical, and includes a multi-choice answer test after each session. Candidates must pass each test. Should a candidate fail to achieve a pass grade on any test (s)he will be given the opportunity to re-sit that paper. The candidate must pass this re-sit and any remaining tests first time round, in order to gain the safety passport.

Anyone who does not achieve the required number of test pass grades will need to attend a new course a later date, although they are welcome to continue to participate in the course (but not any further tests) in order to be better prepared the next time round.
