October 10 marks World Mental Health Day. Every single working day in the UK and Ireland two construction workers take their own life. SNIPEF supports the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, the only charity who provides emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing support to the construction community and their families.

October 2022 brings forward the fourth season of ‘Unblocktober’: a month-long campaign to raise awareness and improve the health of our drains, sewers, watercourses, and seas.

The Scottish Government have opened a consultation on the new build heat standard planned to be introduced in April 2024. This standard is aimed at reducing carbon emissions from the Scottish building stock which currently creates 20% of Scottish carbon emissions.

Becoming a member of the Approved Certifier of Construction Scheme allows certifiers to self certify work (subject to a building warrant) without the need for Building Control to carry out an inspection.

SNIPEF would like to remind members that Water Byelaws training courses are now available online.
