CITB Health, Safety and Environment Strategy

Essence of the strategy:

‘CITB will support the construction industry to deliver a workforce that has the right skills, knowledge, training and experience to prevent injury and ill-health, and minimise its impact on the environment’.

CITB Health, Safety and Environment Strategy

Through:

• Maintaining effective relationships with industry and regulatory and bodies to enable the identification of HS&E skills, knowledge and training needs.

• Promoting and supporting appropriate industry HS&E working groups, innovation, good practice and advice.

• Developing and delivering a HS&E product portfolio that both meets the skills, knowledge and training needs of industry and responds to regulatory requirements and industry priorities.

• Refreshing the way in which HS&E content is developed and delivered to take into account the concept of ‘life long learning’ and the preferred consumption styles in the digital era

CITB Health, Safety and Environment Strategy

By:

• encouraging strong leadership to promote and drive a positive health and safety culture.

• reinforcing the need and benefits of worker involvement and consultation in health, safety and environmental risks throughout construction workplaces.

• helping the industry develop a capable and competent workforce that has the right blend of skills, knowledge, training (attitude and experience).

• developing, adapting and customising HS&E approaches to help SME’s and small sites in different sectors (including refurbishment, repair and maintenance).

• helping all who work in the industry recognise and prioritise real health and safety risks and to be able to manage and control them.

CITB Health, Safety and Environment Strategy

By:

• having a continual increased emphasis on promoting the prevention of occupational diseases (such as silicosis and occupational cancers), managing health risks, as well as general health and well being.

• Maintaining the focus on approaches that reduce the environmental impact of the construction process.

• Increasing the focus on approaches that reduce emissions and natural resource usage in the built environment (mitigation), and lead to more a resilient built environment through adaption strategies for future climate change and extreme weather events (adaptation).

• Embedding the Energy Efficiency Curriculum into existing products and services.
