SEATS Training (CITB) - Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme

Introduction

The Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme (SEATS) is designed to teach organisations about the benefits of good environmental management as well as demonstrating the process of how workers can take steps to improve their effect on the environment. When organisations are able to carry out effective environmental management this can bring with it many benefits including cost savings, a good corporate image and the attraction that comes with new investment.

This course is aimed at workers who would like to increase their knowledge of quality environmental working practices. It is designed to give an awareness of environmental issues that might have an effect on their organisation. The SEATS course is suitable for staff that have supervisory or management responsibilities. It will ensure that these managers and supervisors have the basic environmental knowledge that is required by the subcontract chain and will be requested by major contractors.

The course is set up so that participants will learn via case studies and classroom-based tutorials.
