CITB Site Environmental Awareness
The CITB SEATS training course will provide delegates with an introduction to environmental issues on construction sites and has been designed to provide the basic environmental knowledge that sub-contractors are required to know and demonstrate to major contractors.
Delegates will also be trained to identify both the environmental impacts of their work and improvement opportunities, as well as how to control and minimise their impact on the environment.
This CITB course includes the following elements:
The significance and importance of the environment.

Site waste management.
Prevention of pollution and water management.
