What is a SEATS Open Course?

A SEATS Open Course is traditional classroom training that anyone can book. There are several advantages to taking this training course if you are a supervisor or manager on a construction site. Once you have completed this 1-day training, you’ll understand all relevant legislation that affects the environment in the building and construction industry.

With the knowledge that the SEATS course will provide you with, you will be able to identify, control and reduce the environmental impact of your work. Subcontractors are often asked to prove to major contractors their understanding of their environmental impact and their dedication to reducing that impact. The CITB SEATS course covers the environmental aspects of the new HS&E touch screen test and will give you the proof you need for major contractors of your environmental knowledge.

Who is SEATS Training for?

The CITB Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme (SEATS) course is designed for supervisors or those about to step into a supervisory role.
