Back to Health & Safety Courses

The CCNSG National Safety Passport is a nationally recognised qualification designed to provide essential health, safety, and environmental awareness for personnel working in the construction and engineering sectors. This 2-day course covers a range of critical topics to ensure contractors and employees can work safely and meet the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) statutory requirements.

The CCNSG Safety Passport is a prerequisite for many companies before granting access to construction sites and premises. Bowtec delivers the CCNSG course at our training centre in South Wales, as well as throughout the UK.

By combining this training with site induction, employees and contractors will be better equipped to work safely, reducing risks to themselves and others. Upon completion, delegates will receive a temporary safety passport valid for six weeks. The full CCNSG card, valid for three years, will be sent by the ECITB.
