CITB Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme (SEATS)
CITB Approved | Duration 6hrs

This one day classroom based course will provide candidates with an introduction to environmental issues on construction sites.

This course meets the basic environmental knowledge that the sub-contract chain is required to prove to major contractors. It also covers the environmental aspects of the CITB Health, safety and environment (HS&E) test.

SEATS Aims and Objectives

The delegate will gain knowledge and understanding in:

  • what is meant by the term ‘environment’
  • how to deal with archaeology and heritage on a construction project
  • effective waste management
  • pollution controls, and why the environment should be protected
  • the use of environmental management systems
  • why it is important to be a good neighbour and responsible contractor

At the end of the day delegates will be able to:

  • understand the need to protect the environment
  • implement environmental management systems into the management of the site
  • have an understanding of the impact archaeology and heritage can have on a site
  • identify the principles of the good neighbour initiative
  • appreciate the need to be a responsible contractor

Entry requirements

There are no formal entry requirements for this course; however, it has been developed for construction supervisors and this should therefore be considered before enrolling delegates onto this course.  Delegates must be competent in English at site supervisor level.
