CSCS – CONSTRUCTION SKILLS     

                         CERTIFICATION SCHEME    

CSCS cards are a means of registering competent workers in the construction industry. These cards therefore denote that workers have the necessary skills and health and safety training to do their jobs. Since the card lists the holder’s qualifications and are valid for either three or five years.

The CSCS scheme covers over 160 occupations and is widely recognised as the industry standard, with companies such as Carillion, Taylor Woodrow, Wilmott Dixon and Bovis amongst others demanding proof of competence before allowing workers on site.  According to the CITB ‘over 500,000 people working in the construction industry hold the CSCS card’.

Advantages of the scheme:

·         It provides proof of trade                                                                   

·         Shows that workers have knowledge of health and safety

·         Increases workers ability to get onto sites

Qualified candidates (i.e. those with an NVQ or SVQ) registered with Construction Web are eligible for free CSCS Health and Safety touch screen tests. We also arrange for assessors to come on site to monitor experienced workers working towards their CSCS cards.
