CCNSG Safety Passport Scheme

Aztec Technical Services is approved by the Engineering Construction Industry Training (ECITB) to deliver the Client Contractor National Safety Group (CCNSG) nationally accredited Safety Passport Scheme.

The Safety Passport Scheme was developed by major industrial groups with the aim of providing a standard for the general health and safety training of contractors working in the construction and related industries. It has been commended by the Health and Safety Executive.

Successful completion of the training programme and the associated assessment provides companies with significant benefits, including:

• reducing accident rates
• reducing incident related costs
• providing a route toward compliance with Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and CDM regulations.

As a result many companies’ staff own a safety passport. Many also make the ownership of a safety passport compulsory for contractors  carrying out work on their sites.

Safety passport training courses

Aztec Technical Services offers three safety passport training courses and has delivered them all over the country as well as locally and abroad.

All our courses are delivered by safety and training experts with many years’ experience in the field. They are supported with high quality visual aids, manuals and more to ensure staff get the most out of the course.
