What are CIS’s?

CIS’s are also known as

Construction
Information
Sheets

CIS (Construction Information Sheets): Targeted specifically at the construction industry, CIS documents provide practical advice on managing risks associated with construction activities. They cover topics like safe working practices, equipment use, and regulatory compliance.

See the list of HSE CIS Documents below 👇🏻

How do  HSG, INDG and CIS Standards interlink?

Think of HSG, INDG, and CIS as layers in a construction safety playbook.

• HSG (Health and Safety Guidance) is like your comprehensive game plan. It covers everything you need to manage health and safety across the board. It’s detailed, it’s in-depth, and it’s for those who are serious about getting it right from the top down.

• INDG (Information Documents General) is your quick reference guide. It’s straightforward, to the point, and gives you the essentials without the fluff. Ideal for getting everyone on the same page quickly.

• CIS (Construction Information Sheets) are the specific plays for the construction field. They take the general principles from HSG and INDG and apply them directly to construction. This is where the rubber meets the road.

Here’s how they fit together:

1. Big Picture Strategy (HSG): You start with HSG to understand the full scope of health and safety management. It’s your blueprint.

2. Core Principles (INDG): Then, you use INDG to grasp the fundamental concepts. It’s the foundation everyone needs to understand.

3. Actionable Steps (CIS): Finally, you dive into CIS to get specific, actionable advice tailored to construction. This is where you implement the strategies on the ground.

Why does this matter?

• Efficiency: By using all three, you’re not reinventing the wheel. You’re taking tried-and-true principles and applying them efficiently.

• Compliance: You’re covering your bases legally. HSG gives you the laws and regulations, INDG simplifies them, and CIS tells you how to comply on-site.

• Safety: At the end of the day, it’s about keeping people safe. These documents work together to minimize risks specific to construction.

Bottom line:

If you’re in construction, don’t just stick to one source. Leverage HSG for comprehensive strategies, INDG for clear fundamentals, and CIS for practical application. Use them together, and you’ll not only meet legal requirements but also create a safer, more efficient work environment.

Remember, knowledge isn’t power until it’s applied. So, get out there and make it happen.
