Safety Reps Induction Application

ALL FACE TO FACE COURSES ARE CANCELLED!!

Due to the current state of affairs regarding the COVID19 virus, we are currently unsure of the future situation concerning COVID19. Therefore, we are presently NOT booking safety reps on to a face to face course for this year.

However, we are now running virtual CSP Safety Rep Distance Learning Online courses which the CSP has designed and developed as an induction for newly elected/accredited safety reps so that safety reps can take part in training and also help provide some knowledge to help carry out your role.

So, if you are a newly elected/accredited safety rep and would like to register for a place on to one of the online courses please contact Sam Kyriacou at kyriacous@csp.org.uk.  PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETE THE FORM BELOW.
