CCNSG SAFETY PASSPORT
TRAINING

The aim of the CCNSG Safety Passport Scheme is to ensure
a basic knowledge of health and safety for all site personnel
to enable them, after appropriate site induction, to work on site
more safely with lower risk to themselves and others

The Scheme.. In the early 1990s a consortium of major industrialists from the power generation, steel, oil, gas and chemical industries recognised the need to train their contractors in basic safety. Most were providing a site induction, some were training their contractors, but there were no common standards.

Two groups, in the North East and in West Wales, working in co-operation, set out to standardise their basic safety training and devised a core curriculum which became the foundation of a training scheme which has grown to national proportions.

The scheme, which results in the award of a ‘Safety Passport’ to contractor site personnel, is monitored and controlled by a national steering group known as the Client/Contractor National Safety Group (CCNSG).

Representatives from major clients are nominated by local safety groups to serve on the CCNSG and there is also representation from contractors, training providers and trade unions. The CCNSG meets regularly to ensure that standards are being maintained and that the content of the training scheme continues to meet current safety legislation and current safety practices

.
The Training and Assessment... The two-day training programme covers ten modules:


• Introduction to Health & Safety Law and Permits to Work
• Safe Working Practices and Scaffolding
• Safe Access and Egress
• Accident and First Aid Procedures
• Fire Precautions and Procedures
• COSHH and Personal Protective Equipment
• Manual Handling
• Noise
• Working with Cranes and Heavy Equipment
• Excavations

The Health & Safety Executive has monitored the scheme from its early days, and has shown its support by attending the launch of the scheme in several new locations. Continued support from HSE has been a feature as passport schemes have gained prominence. Local safety groups have been established in a number of locations throughout the UK and over 70 Training Providers have been approved by the ECITB to deliver the training on behalf of the CCNSG.
