1.     What is the difference between the PSCS and the PSDP?

The PSDP (Project Supervisor Design Process) focuses on safety during the design and planning phase, aiming to "design out" risks before they reach the site. The PSCS (Project Supervisor Construction Stage) takes over for the live construction phase, managing the day-to-day safety and coordination of contractors on the active site.

2.     Is this IOSH course recognised by the HSA?

Yes. While the HSA does not "approve" specific courses, this IOSH qualification is designed specifically to meet the competency requirements outlined for the PSCS role in the Irish Construction Regulations, which the HSA enforces. It is the industry-standard qualification for this role.

3.     How long is the PSCS certification valid for?

It is considered best practice in the industry to undertake refresher training every three to five years to ensure you remain up-to-date with legislative changes and best practices.
