    This course has been developed for directors and senior managers active in a health and safety strategic role in the built environment from any organisational size in construction, civil engineering or allied trades, and therefore this should be considered before enrolling delegates on to this course. Examples of relevant roles (not exhaustive) are:

    • Financial/Operations director
    • Senior quantity surveyor (QS)
    • Private QS
    • Principal designer
    • Senior/principal engineer
    • Company secretary
    • Contracts manager
    • Senior project manager
    • Non-executive director

    Delegates must be able to demonstrate the following:

    EITHER previously completed a CITB Director’s Role for Health and Safety course

    OR have a working knowledge of the following health and safety legislation with the anticipation that course content and the end of course assessment will require delegates to consider these legislations in context with a director’s role and responsibility:

    • Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974
    • Employers’ Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969
    • Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) 2015
    • Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

    To further support learners, CITB has created a DRHS eLearning, which provides the content for learning outcomes one and two. These learning outcomes may only be reflected on by the trainer in the trainer-led sessions, and learners will need to be confident to refer to this knowledge in class discussions and course exercises.

    The interactive course takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete, but you don’t have to do it all at once. You can close the eLearning at any time and, on your return, pick up where you left off. Your progress will be saved automatically. We recommend that you sit the course in 30-minute chunks. The pre-course eLearning is accessed via http://ecourses.citb.co.uk.

    Delegates should hold, or be about to hold, the role of director or strategic senior role. Delegates must be competent in English at senior management level.
