Site supervisors may not have written the Construction Environmental Management Plan, but they are often the people expected to make its controls work.

Our latest blog explores what a CEMP should contain in 2026, why generic plans fail on site and what supervisors should check before, during and after an activity.

It also examines change control, environmental evidence and how CITB SEATS supports the people responsible for implementing these arrangements.

Skills England has warned that, for construction, the education pipeline alone will not be enough to meet future demand.

That matters.

Because the answer cannot just be “bring more people into the industry”.

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

Experienced workers need clear routes to progress, gain recognised qualifications and move into the roles construction is going to need more of.

That is where NVQs have an important role to play.

They give experienced workers the opportunity to have the skills and competence they already use on site formally recognised, while helping them progress into the next stage of their career.

The industry already has a huge amount of experience in its workforce.

The challenge is making sure we develop and recognise it, rather than overlooking it while searching for the next generation.

Not if a fence panel is loose.
Not if a ladder still provides access to the scaffold.

Construction site security is about far more than preventing theft. It is a legal health and safety responsibility and protecting the public does not end at the gate.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀:
• What HSE guidance and CDM 2015 require
• Who is responsible for preventing unauthorised access
• Common site security failures
• Why fencing and hoarding may need temporary-works controls
• A practical checklist for reviewing your site
