What is the CCNSG Safety Passport Open Course?

Open Courses are those that are run face-to-face at a training venue. Anyone can book places on these courses either online or over the phone. The CCNSG Safety Passport is often required to enter some engineering-based construction sites. Like the CSCS card, some employers and site managers will specify the requirement for a CCNSG Safety Passport to allow you on-site and carry out your work. The CCNSG is the engineering construction safety card and is aimed at the engineering construction industry.

If you work in the construction industry only, you might want to consider CITB Training Courses. However, individual sites will specify the qualifications needed to work on them.
