Boost Your On-Site Safety with CITB-Accredited Courses
Site Safety Plus Courses
Working in construction can be a hugely rewarding career, but it can also be dangerous. This is why reputable construction companies place such a strong emphasis on site safety.
At CPCS, we provide a range of Site Safety Plus training courses, all endorsed by the CITB, the UK’s training board for the construction industry. After taking a Site Safety Plus course with us, you’ll have the knowledge and know-how to operate safely in the industry, helping to ensure your safety, as well as the safety of others around you.

Why Take Site Safety Plus Courses?
There are several reasons to take a Site Safety Plus course, making it a fantastic investment for both individuals and companies looking to better train their employees. Here are four of the main reasons people choose Site Safety Plus courses:
1. Enhanced Site Safety
A value can’t be put on being safe at work. Sites can be dangerous places, but with Site Safety Plus training, you’ll understand how to recognise and react to hazards, as well as do your bit to promote a safer working environment.
2. Boosted Career Prospects
Employers want to hire people with a solid knowledge of site safety. CITB-certified applicants can demonstrate high-level training, putting them at the top of the pile when vacancies arise.
3. CITB-Recognised Accreditation
Site Safety Plus courses are accredited by the CITB, meaning they’re of the highest quality. A CITB-accredited course on your CV looks far better than a random course that’s not been approved by the UK’s leading construction body.
4. Understanding of Regulations
The construction industry is rife with regulations, and everyone working in it must understand them. Taking a Site Safety Plus course ensures you are up to date with the latest construction laws and regulations.
