CCNSG Leading a Team Safely Course
1-day LaTS training for people who lead others on site
When you start leading people on site, the job changes.
You are still thinking about the work in front of you, but you are also thinking about how other people understand the task, where the risks are, and whether the team is actually following the plan.
That is where CCNSG Leading a Team Safely comes in.
Often called LaTS or LATS, this 1-day course is for people who supervise, lead or support small teams in engineering construction, industrial, maintenance and contractor-controlled environments.
It is not the same as the standard CCNSG Safety Passport. The Safety Passport is about your own understanding of site safety. Leading a Team Safely training is about what happens when others start looking to you for direction.
- A rushed instruction.
- A missed check.
- A team member who is unsure but does not speak up.
- A change in the work area that nobody has properly discussed.
These are everyday site problems. LaTS helps supervisors and team leaders think about how their actions, communication and planning affect the people around them.

Candidates are often expected to hold a current CCNSG Safety Passport before attending the CCNSG LaTS course. If you are not sure whether this applies to you, check before booking.
When workers start looking to you for direction
LaTS is mainly for people who have some responsibility for others on site.
That might mean giving instructions, checking a task is being carried out safely, explaining the plan for the day, or helping a small team respond when conditions change.
It is commonly booked for supervisors, chargehands, team leaders, working foremen, contractor leads and people moving into supervisory roles.
The job title is not always the main point. A better question is:
Are other people relying on you to plan, explain, check or lead the work?
If they are, CCNSG Leading a Team Safely may be the course your employer or site is asking for.
What the day is mainly about
LaTS keeps the focus on the safety side of leadership.
It is not general management training, and it is not there to teach basic site safety from the beginning. Instead, it looks at the situations supervisors and team leaders deal with in real work: giving instructions, checking understanding, planning the task, influencing behaviour and making sure safe systems of work are followed.
The training can cover practical areas such as:
- communication and clear instructions
- planning work before it starts
- leading a small team safely
- dealing with unsafe behaviour
- understanding your responsibilities
- reviewing what went well and what needs to change
A good team leader does more than pass on instructions. They set the tone for how work is done. If safety is rushed, ignored or badly explained, the whole team can be affected.
How it differs from the standard Safety Passport
The CCNSG Safety Passport is usually the starting point for workers who need recognised site safety training.
CCNSG Leading a Team Safely is different. It is for people who already have, or are moving into, a role where they influence how others work.
That is why candidates are often expected to hold a valid CCNSG Safety Passport first. LaTS builds on the idea that you already understand basic safety expectations, then looks at how those expectations apply when you are leading people.
If you do not currently hold a valid CCNSG card, or your card has expired, check before booking. You may need to complete or renew your Safety Passport before taking LaTS.
Before you book
Before booking CCNSG Leading a Team Safely, check the wording you have been given.
Some employers ask for LaTS. Others say LATS, Leading a Team Safely, or even CCNSG supervisor course. They are often referring to the same course, but it is worth checking before you arrange training.
For company bookings, it also helps to check whether each candidate already holds a current CCNSG Safety Passport. This can prevent problems later, especially if some workers have expired cards or still need the standard Safety Passport course.
If there is a project start date, site requirement or deadline, mention it when you enquire.
LaTS course dates and availability
LaTS dates can be less frequent than standard CCNSG Safety Passport or Renewal Course dates, so it is worth checking early.
If you are looking for a CCNSG Leading a Team Safely course near me or a CCNSG LaTS course near me, CPTS can help you check nearby LaTS options based on your location, preferred dates and number of candidates.
This is useful for individual supervisors, but also for companies arranging training for several team leaders, chargehands or working foremen at the same time.
Prices, dates and availability
The CCNSG Leading a Team Safely price can vary depending on the course location, date and number of candidates.
The CCNSG Leading a Team Safely cost should be checked separately from the CCNSG National Course and the CCNSG Renewal Course, because LaTS is a separate training route.
If you are comparing LaTS course prices, it helps to send:
- your preferred location
- possible dates
- number of candidates
- whether candidates already hold CCNSG Safety Passports
- any deadline from your employer or site
We can then help check current availability and the most suitable course option.
