Site Safety Supervisor Refresher Course in Northern Ireland
The Site Safety Supervisor Refresher Course is designed for construction supervisors and managers who need to renew their CSR Supervisor card.
Supervisors play a critical role in maintaining safe construction sites and ensuring work is carried out in accordance with current health and safety legislation.
The refresher course allows experienced supervisors to update their knowledge of construction health and safety and renew their CSR Supervisor card without having to complete the full four-day Site Safety Supervisors Course again.
Training Solutions NI delivers this one-day classroom refresher course at its training centre in Antrim, supporting construction supervisors from across Northern Ireland.
Who Should Take the Supervisor Refresher Course?
The Site Safety Supervisor Refresher Course is intended for individuals who already hold a CSR Supervisor card and need to renew it.
Typical candidates include:
-
Construction site supervisors
-
Foremen and chargehands
-
Site managers with supervisory responsibilities
-
Experienced supervisors working in the construction industry
The refresher course allows supervisors to maintain their certification and continue supervising construction work safely.
CSR Supervisor Card Renewal
Supervisors working in the construction industry in Northern Ireland may need to renew their CSR Supervisor card periodically.
Completing the Site Safety Supervisor Refresher Course allows candidates to apply for the issue of a new CSR Supervisor card through the Construction Employers Federation (CEF).
The course updates supervisors on key health and safety responsibilities and ensures their knowledge remains current.
NVQ Qualification Requirement for CSR Supervisor Card Renewal
To renew a CSR Supervisor card, candidates must hold a relevant NVQ qualification in construction site supervision.
This requirement is the same as for candidates completing the full four-day Site Safety Supervisors Course.
In most cases, supervisors renewing their CSR card will hold one of the following qualifications:
These qualifications demonstrate that the supervisor has the knowledge, skills and experience required to supervise construction work safely and manage site activities effectively.
The NVQ qualification confirms competence in supervising construction work, while the Site Safety Supervisor Refresher Course ensures supervisors maintain an up-to-date understanding of health and safety responsibilities.
Training Solutions NI also delivers both NVQ Level 3 and NVQ Level 4 Construction Supervision qualifications for individuals progressing into supervisory roles within the construction industry.
CITB Health, Safety and Environment Touch Screen Test
To renew a CSR Supervisor card, candidates are also required to pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Touch Screen Test for Supervisors.
This test confirms that supervisors have an up-to-date understanding of construction health and safety responsibilities.
For convenience, candidates attending the Site Safety Supervisor Refresher Course at Training Solutions NI can complete the CITB Touch Screen Test at our centre on the same day as the course.
This allows supervisors to complete both the refresher training and the required CITB safety test in a single visit.
When Do You Need the Refresher Course?
Supervisors should complete the Site Safety Supervisor Refresher Course before their CSR Supervisor card expires.
If your card has been expired for less than six months, you can normally complete the refresher course in order to renew it.
If your card has been expired for more than six months, you may be required to complete the full four-day Site Safety Supervisors Course again.
Completing the refresher course within the correct timeframe helps supervisors renew their card quickly and continue working on construction sites.

The course provides an update on current health and safety responsibilities for supervisors and reinforces safe working practices within the construction industry.

-
Supervisor responsibilities under health and safety legislation
