SEATS? What on earth is it?

SEATS – Site Environmental Awareness Training by CITB.

Good news!!! LIGHTHOUSE can now deliver this course, but what is it?

Well, the environmental scene right now in the UK is really starting to take pace. We as a country are under a lot of international pressure to improve our environmental standards. Not to mention the ethical dilemma too.

Too many people jump on the “moan” band wagon about great crested newts, or bats and badgers without really knowing why they are an issue.

Clients are really pushing hard for more awareness and better controls and this course suits that bill.  The course provides an introduction to environmental issues on construction sites.

Overview:

• Suitable for staff with management or supervisory responsibilities.

• Meets the basic environmental knowledge that the sub-contract chain are required to prove to major contractors.

• Covers the environmental aspects of the new touch-screen Health, Safety and Environment test.

• Learn via classroom-based tutorials and case studies.
