CITB Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme

Overview

The SEATS course covers relevant legislation and other aspects that affect the environment in the building, construction and civil engineering industries.

It 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.
Course Content
At the end of the course, delegates will have an understanding of:
•Best practice techniques and legal compliance
•The environment and why it matters
•Environmental management systems
•Waste management
•How to be a good neighbour: statutory nuisance, communication
•Archaeology and heritage
•Energy and resources
•Being a responsible contractor.
Delegates who achieve 80% or higher will receive their CITB SEATS certificate, which will be valid for five years.
This classroom course is a highly interactive course taught through case studies, discussion, group work and individual or group presentations.

Delegates will be continuously assessed during the course in preparation for the final assessment. The assessment is multiple-choice and will be undertaken under test conditions.
To remain certified in this area, you will need to retake the course before the expiry date.
