The Client Contractor National Safety Group (CCNSG) created the Safety Passport Scheme to help people working on sites stay safe and reduce risks. CCNSG courses are run by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB), so the CCNSG Safety Passport is also called the “ECITB Safety Passport.”

These courses focus on on-site safety and ensure workers have basic health and safety knowledge after a site induction. The CCNSG Safety Passport is the required qualification for working on process plant sites in the UK. We offer three training courses that comprise the CCNSG Safety Passport Scheme.
