Important changes have been made to CCNSG Safety Passport renewals.

Renewed CCNSG cards are now valid for 39 months from the date of the renewal assessment, rather than unused time being carried forward from the previous card.
This change has been in place since 7 Sept, 2026.
Cardholders can renew at any point while still giving those who renew early an additional three-month administrative extension.

You still need to renew before your current CCNSG Safety Passport expires. If it expires, you will normally need to complete the full two-day CCNSG National Course again.

❗ Changes to EUSR CSCS cards take effect from today, 1 October 2026. ❗

From today, SHEA registrations will no longer automatically be issued on an EUSR CSCS Green Labourer card. Instead, anyone who needs access to a construction site will need to apply for the appropriate EUSR CSCS card for the role they carry out, alongside holding an in-date SHEA registration.

For labourers, the new EUSR CSCS Utilities Labourer card replaces the Green Labourer card for new applications, while skilled workers, trainees and apprentices will need the appropriate role-specific card.

Existing Green Labourer cards remain valid until their expiry date.

If you work in the utilities sector and use your EUSR registration for construction site access, make sure you understand what the changes mean for you.

Construction managers have a lot to keep on top of when it comes to site safety and compliance.

From checking worker competence and RAMS to site inductions, inspections, training records and ongoing monitoring, good compliance is about making sure the right controls aren't just documented – they're actually being followed on site.

Our Construction Manager Compliance Checklist provides a practical reminder of some of the key areas construction managers should be reviewing.
