NPORS S029 Construction Site Safety Supervisor Course
Stepping up into a supervisory role comes with new responsibilities. Our NPORS S029 Construction Site Safety Supervisor Course gives you the legal knowledge and practical tools to lead your team safely and confidently.
What this course covers
We focus on the real challenges supervisors face every day. You’ll learn about current UK health and safety law, how to carry out risk assessments and deliver toolbox talks. We also cover site inductions, accident reporting, working at height, fire prevention, manual handling and lifting operations. You’ll look at managing hazardous substances, controlling dust and fumes, and supporting workers’ health. We show how to build a positive safety culture and prepare for HSE inspections without stress.
Who it’s for
This course is designed for people who supervise others on construction or civil engineering sites. It’s also ideal if you’re about to move into a supervisory role and want proof of competency. No prior certificates are needed – just a role with safety responsibilities or the intention to step into one.
How training works
We keep training practical and engaging. Sessions are led by experienced site supervisors, not just classroom trainers. You’ll join group discussions, review real-world case studies and complete short exercises. The course ends with a written and practical assessment to confirm your skills.
Certification & career progression
On completion you’ll receive an NPORS S029 Site Supervisor Card valid for five years. Passing the CITB Health, Safety & Environment (Supervisors level) test within two years adds the ‘HS&E Tested’ logo to your card. The qualification is recognised by Build UK and accepted on most UK construction projects, supporting your route toward the CSCS Gold Supervisor Card.
