With training costs, compliance requirements and workforce development all pulling at the same budget, CITB funding can make a real difference. But knowing which route applies, from Employer Network support to NVQ grants, is where many businesses miss out.

Our latest blog explains how employers can plan training more strategically, reduce unnecessary costs and support their teams with the right qualifications at the right time.

The Health and Safety Executive has announced a renewed inspection focus on silica dust, with more than 1,000 visits expected across Great Britain over the next 12 months.

While the latest guidance highlights engineered stone, the message applies across construction: dust control cannot be treated as an afterthought.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀:
✅ Why silica dust is such a serious health risk
✅ What HSE inspectors may be looking for
✅ Common construction tasks that create respirable crystalline silica
✅ Why water suppression, extraction and suitable RPE matter
✅ The importance of face fit testing and worker awareness

For employers, contractors, supervisors and site managers, now is the time to review your risk assessments, controls and site practices.

We’re getting involved in Wear Purple Week to support the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity and help raise awareness around mental health and wellbeing in construction.

It is a simple idea, but an important one: wear purple, start conversations, support the charity and help keep mental health visible across the industry.

The team will be taking part during Wear Purple Week, which runs from Monday 15th to Friday 19th June, and we’ll be sharing what we get up to.

The right course depends on what they’re actually responsible for on site, not just their job title.

For many supervisors, SSSTS is the best starting point, while others may also need refresher training, Temporary Works Supervisor training, an NVQ route, or even SMSTS if their role is moving into wider site management.

Our latest blog breaks down how employers, training managers and health & safety teams can choose the right route with less guesswork and fewer admin headaches.
