Does IOSH Managing Safely in Construction Expire?

• Site managers who previously completed IOSH Construction Site Managers

What Does the Refresher Cover?

The programme revisits and reinforces:

• Foundations of health and safety in construction
• Hazard identification on live sites
• The risk assessment process
• Applying the hierarchy of control
• Construction-specific hazards including:
  • Work at height
  • Excavation
  • Lifting operations
  • Plant and machinery
  • Contractor management

The focus is practical — strengthening real-world site management capability.

CSR Card and Platinum Card Eligibility

Successful completion of the IOSH Construction Site Managers Refresher can support CSR card applications, subject to meeting the criteria set by the Construction Employers Federation (CEF).

Does this refresher allow me to obtain or maintain a CSR Platinum Card?

Yes — provided you meet the relevant academic or professional criteria required by CEF.

Depending on your qualifications and experience, you may be eligible under the following CSR card categories:

🔹 Academically Qualified Person – Platinum Card

• Civil Engineering

Eligibility depends on your academic background, professional membership and experience. Training Solutions NI can guide you on:

We do not issue CSR cards directly — applications are processed through CEF.
