In order to acquire the National Construction Safety Officer (NCSO) designation, students have to complete the IHSA-NCSO audit. The IHSA NSCO protocol is almost identical to the IHSA COR 2020 protocol with only elements 2, 4, 8, 10.
Students with companies
Students with a company can enter the details of their company in the Company Details subsection below Audit Information.
Students without companies
If you do not have a company to use for your audit; please follow the instructions below to input pre-defined company data.

Completing the audit
For the Audit Purpose, instead of Certification / Maintenance / Renewal, the only option is 'NCSO Student Audit'.
For the Auditor Role, the student needs to select ‘Internal’ and can leave the Auditor Certification Number blank.
The NSCO audits only require the minimum site/workers: 1 site, 5 workers, and 2 managers. In the Site Sampling page, these are the numbers that the students will input.
In the Cover Page, the students can select the ‘Fill' buttons to fill the fields with the pre-defined information.
For the signatories, auditors that do not have an active company will input the pre-defined values. In Employment Status Attestation and Code of Ethics, the company contact from the pre-defined company information can be input, i.e. Sam Smithers ([email protected]).
Certificates
The auditor will not be required to upload a certificate for the senior management representative; they can upload their own training certificate on the COR Training Certificates page.
Management Corrective Action Plan
The student can select ‘Document is not applicable’ in this section if they do not have corrective action plan from a previous audit.
