Training
An unknown Greek Philosopher once defined an accident as “the invasion of the unaware by the unexpected”. In today’s health and safety culture this could be redefined as “the invasion of the untrained by the unidentified”. C-MIST training has this approach at its heart – indeed 'training' could be better referred to as 'competency development'.
C-MIST courses:
- are given by experienced practitioners – skilled in presentation, the subject and its practical implementation;
- cover construction topics from core legislation to on-site tool box talks; and
- meet the needs of all involved in construction - from senior directors/managers to site labourers.
Some courses are ‘open’ to all applicants – in particular the Competent CDM Co-ordination. This developed from the Competent Planning Supervision course set up in association with the RIAS in Scotland when the CDM Regulations were first introduced. It has since become the premier CDM Co-ordinator course in the UK recognised by the HSE and approved by the Institution of Construction Safety, the Institution of Chemical Engineers and, for grant purposes, the CITB.
Most courses, however, are tailored to specific clients’ needs allowing the course to focus on what the delegates actually need and using exercises and examples drawn from their own experience. Off-site courses can be held at C-MIST’s training facility in Edinburgh (10 minutes from the Airport) or at any other agreed venue.
