The CIF Site Supervisor Safety Programme is designed to equip a key cohort—site supervisors—with the foundational skills necessary to manage health, safety, welfare, and environmental responsibilities on Irish construction sites.

Developed by the CIF Learning & Development Department, this programme ensures supervisors understand their legal duties and promotes strong leadership in safety management.

Endorsed by the CIF Safety Committee and the Construction Safety Partnership Advisory Committee (CSPAC), this training is the recognized standard for supervisors and foremen on Irish construction sites. It’s tailored for supervisors in small to large construction companies, ensuring they are fully prepared to fulfill their crucial roles on-site.

By focusing on critical safety responsibilities, this programme provides a strong foundation in managing teams, adhering to safety protocols, and fostering a culture of safety across construction projects.

The course aims to ensure that all those given supervisory responsibilities a full understand as to why they are carrying out their identified duties:

  • to ensure they know what is expected of them.
  • to ensure that they contribute to the safety of the workplace.

At the end of the course delegates will be able to:

  •  understand the problems of the operational construction site from a supervisor role
  • have an understanding of how health and safety legislation is structured and how it applies to supervisors.
  • identify how their supervisory role fits in with the management & leadership structure in controlling the site safety.
  • carry out risk assessments and understand the need for method statements
  • carry out effective site inductions, toolbox talks and method statement briefings
  • be able to monitor site activities effectively
  • understand the importance of timely intervention when bad practice is identified on site.
  • Member Rate: €400.00
  • Non-member Rate: €500.00

This course serves as an ideal foundation for site supervisors to gain a basic understanding of their health and safety duties and responsibilities. It provides essential knowledge for site safety supervision, ensuring participants are well-prepared to manage site safety effectively. Upon successful completion, participants are encouraged to advance to the CIF IOSH Safety for Construction Managers Programme, which builds on the skills and knowledge acquired in this foundational training, offering a natural progression for those seeking to deepen their expertise in construction safety management.

Homework between day one and day two is recommended for revision for final examination; also toolbox talk, risk assessment, method statement, presentation exercise, which are intended to provide delegates with the opportunity of demonstrating their communication skills in front of an audience.

When presentations are being made by delegates the programme will allow sufficient time, including time for tutor feedback. The examination paper will be completed in class as a closed book examination on the last day of the course. The method of assessment will be by multiple-choice questions at the end of the course as well as being expected to be interactive during the course during the case studies segments.
