An experienced supervisor has urged workers in the engineering construction industry (ECI) to keep their safety passports up to date to ensure everyone stays safe on site.

Daniel Williamson, 35, who works for Ledwood Mechanical Engineering, has been a CCNSG Safety Passport holder for 13 years and says making sure health and safety knowledge is kept current and relevant is vital when working in hazardous environments.

The fabrication supervisor has worked in the industry 18 years, a decade with Ledwood in Pembrokeshire, and believes renewing safety cards helps prevent complacency.  The CCNSG Safety Passport is the nationally recognised safety card for the ECI and often a pre-requisite for workers to enter UK sites.

The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board’s (ECITB) quality-assured CCNSG course is suitable for all members of the workforce, providing enhanced health and safety awareness to help reduce accidents.

“It’s a really good programme,” said Daniel. “It’s like guidance for how you should be working within these environments. “It’s important because it keeps myself and people around me safe. When you come to work you want to go home in the same state, nobody wants to go to work to get hurt.”
