The 1-day ECITB CCNSG Leading a Team Safely (LATS) course — practical safety leadership for supervisors and team leaders who already hold a current CCNSG Safety Passport. Tutor-led classroom or in-company training UK-wide.
Two ways to take the CCNSG Leading a Team Safely course with KeyOstas — choose the option that fits your supervisors and timescales.
CCNSG Leading a Team Safely (LATS) is a one-day workshop run by the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) that gives supervisors and team leaders an essential introduction to managing small teams safely. To attend, you must hold a current CCNSG Safety Passport. The course focuses on leadership essentials — planning, implementing and reviewing — with a natural emphasis on health and safety, and is assessed by the instructor. Successful delegates receive an ECITB certificate valid for three years.
LATS is aimed at supervisory staff who have responsibility for teams, but who may have had little or no formal training in health and safety responsibilities or in the essentials of leadership. It is a natural next step once a worker has gained their CCNSG Safety Passport and moved into a charge-hand, foreman or first-line supervisor role. KeyOstas delivers LATS as an ECITB Approved Training Provider, in classrooms across the UK and in-company at your premises.
LATS sits one step above the CCNSG Safety Passport. It is for people who lead a team — and it requires a current CCNSG card to attend.
By the end of the day you will have the practical tools to lead a team safely on site — and an ECITB certificate that proves it.
Understand how to positively influence the behaviour of the people you supervise, so safe working becomes the norm.
Put the right planning in place and communicate health and safety clearly for every site task your team takes on.
Help your team operate on site more safely, lowering the risk to themselves and to those working around them.
Apply the leadership essentials of planning, implementing and reviewing work, with safety built into each stage.
Use clear communication techniques and self-management skills to lead a team effectively under site pressure.
Follow practical guidelines for achieving safe outcomes, and find safe solutions to common workplace problems.
The ECITB LATS course is built around the essentials of leadership — planning, implementing and reviewing — and is broken down into four elements.
LATS is a practical leadership workshop, and the assessment reflects that — there is no multiple-choice exam to revise for.
A written assessment is conducted and assessed by the instructor on the day, to confirm you have achieved the competencies the course sets out — influencing behaviour, planning, communication and achieving safe outcomes.
The day is delivered as an interactive workshop — trainer-led sessions, group discussion and shared site experience — so the assessment reflects the leadership skills you have just worked through together.
These are two different CCNSG courses for two different stages. Here is how they sit alongside each other.
KeyOstas has delivered health, safety and environmental training across the UK since 1984.
LATS upskills a supervisor in a single day — minimal time off site for a real leadership step-up.
