Supporting the delivery of a CITB fit for purpose

In 2017, industry voted on whether CITB should continue to collect a Levy in the three-yearly consensus process. As a consensus federation, Build UK represented the views of its members and whilst a significant majority of members supported the continuation of the Levy, Build UK has made it clear in their letter to CITB that this support is subject to the implementation of a clear reform programme.

Occupational Health

Under health and safety legislation, employers are required to assess, manage and control health risks to their employees as a result of the work they undertake. In April 2016, B&CE bought an existing industry-supported scheme, Constructing Better Health, and with the support of Build UK members will create an occupational health management scheme for the entire construction industry.
