Competency in Construction

Date: Wednesday 15 October 2025
This was an on-line event.
Topic:

Join Rosalind Thorpe, Director of Education and Standards at CIOB, for the webinar "Competency in Construction." In this session, Rosalind will break down the competence requirements introduced under the Building Safety Act (BSA) and CDM regulations, clarifying what they mean in real-world terms for Health & Safety professionals. She’ll explore the concept of SKEBs—Skills, Knowledge, Experience, and Behaviours—with a focus on how behaviours, often seen as intangible, play a crucial role in professional competency. The webinar will examine how these evolving expectations apply to H&S roles in construction, how professionals can demonstrate competence through membership, CPD, and practical application, and what these changes mean for the wider construction industry. Rosalind will also share guidance on navigating skills gaps and embracing the opportunities that a recognised, competency-driven profession can bring.
