The Construction Industry Council (CIC) has updated its Health and Safety Certification. The changes have been made to reflect the new requirements of the Building Safety Act.
Refreshed course for built environment professionals
The CIC will provide a refreshed course which will ensure built environment professionals can demonstrate up‑to‑date competence in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
The updated content places a strong emphasis on the enhanced responsibilities introduced by the Building Safety Act, supporting organisations and individuals in meeting modern safety, competence, and accountability expectations.
Course designed for occasional site visitors
The course, which is being delivered by Accredex, is aimed at professionals who need to understand key safety principles but do not require a full operative-level qualification because they only occasionally visit the site.
CIC Chief Executive, Graham Watts, said: “The refreshed certification brings the requirements of the Building Safety Act into clear focus for built environment professionals.
“It offers a tailored, flexible and accessible way for individuals to demonstrate competence, while giving employers confidence that their teams understand the latest regulatory obligations.”
Flexible route to compliance
Paul Jenkinson, Director of Accredex, said: “We are proud to work with CIC to deliver an updated Health and Safety Test that reflects the requirements of the Building Safety Act.
“Our digital platform gives professionals a flexible, modern route to achieving the compliance they need—supporting safe practice, stronger competence, and a smoother pathway to CSCS and SKILLcard recognition.”
The CIC is hosting a live demonstration of the course at a free webinar on Monday 16 March at 12.30pm. You can register by clicking here.
