  13. CONIAC & CONIAN CONIAC advises HSE and relevant stakeholders of emerging health and safety developments and risks in the construction industry, and sets a direction and plan for their promotion and mitigation. We are in a new era of challenge and need to modernise - a reconstitution proposal was put to CONIAC in 2017 The model aligns with the ‘Helping GB Work Well’ strategy and supports the Governments 2025 Construction Strategy and HSE Construction Sector Plan

  14. ACHIEVING THROUGH WORKING TOGETHER CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ADVISORY NETWORK (CONIAN)

  15. CONIAN – What it is A community of representative organisations committed to reducing construction risks and improving worker protection A conduit for reciprocal intelligence, information, communications to and from construction communities and CONIAC Promulgators of good practice and behaviour within their membership communities A sounding board for current and future risk reduction developments, communications and proposals

  16. CONIAN – what it is NOT • Governed or directed by HSE or CONIAC • Intended to limit or prohibit members own organisations from pursuing their own risk reduction agendas and priorities • An additional level of CONIAC governance
