Health and safety CPD is a core professional requirement for everyone working in UK construction. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, the Building Safety Act 2022 and the ongoing work of the Health and Safety Executive place explicit competency obligations on designers, contractors, project managers and site operatives. The resources in this category cover the full spectrum of health and safety knowledge required for construction practice — from site hazard management and CDM compliance through to mental health, occupational disease and the behavioural aspects of safety culture.
The construction industry accounts for a disproportionate share of UK workplace fatalities each year. Behind these statistics are preventable incidents — many of which could have been avoided with better training, clearer risk assessment and a stronger safety culture. Investing in health and safety CPD is not just about ticking a professional body requirement; it is about developing the knowledge and skills to protect yourself, your colleagues and the people who will ultimately live and work in the buildings you create. IOSH requires all members to complete 30 hours of CPD per year with health and safety at its core. CIOB, RIBA, ICE and other professional bodies all include health and safety as a mandatory or core competency area.
