IHSA is providing 300 free NCSO Student AuditSoft licenses to current NCSO® applicants on a first-come, first-served basis to assist in the transition to the new requirements! Each license is valid for 12 months, and all audits must be submitted within 12 months of account activation. After this period, standard licensing fees will apply for AuditSoft subscriptions.

IHSA is introducing several improvements to the NCSO^® and NHSA^™ process, based on feedback, that ensure continued alignment with the Canadian Federation of Construction Safety Associations. These changes include a new online application portal, a revised exam scheduling process and exam format, and a requirement for NCSO^®s to complete a COR^® audit, as well as a requirement for both NCSO^®s and NHSA^™s to submit a workplace inspection.
