The CSCS Board CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) is the leading certification card scheme for construction. Since it was established in 1995 the Scheme has developed to meet the changing needs of the industry and there are now over 2 million cardholders. Most major contractors and homebuilders require workers on their sites to hold a valid CSCS card as a means to certify their qualifications and training. It is important that you hold the right CSCS card for the type of work you undertake. If you do not have a card, or hold the wrong card, access to construction sites may be denied. CSCS cards provide a means to verify that people who work on construction sites have the necessary training and qualifications for the type of work they carry out. The Scheme keeps a database of those working in construction who have, or are committed to achieving, a recognised construction related qualification. Having a CSCS card verifies your identity and shows employers that you have the required qualifications, training and experience to carry out your work on a construction site. It is vital that construction contractors and clients use a consistent method to check workers’ CSCS cards before allowing them on site. Often this has meant a combination of scanning, photocopying or manually recording cardholders’ details. However, by using smart technology built into CSCS cards and with an inexpensive card reader, smartphones or tablet devices, cards can be checked and data recorded within seconds. CSCS cards can be used for many purposes beyond just checking and storing site workers’ identification and qualifications, including access control and recording onsite training sessions. The ability for your CSCS SmartCard to be used for a host of additional applications means that this could be the only work related card you need to carry. www.cscs.uk.com www.cscs.uk.com Construction Industry Council www.cic.org.uk Construction Clients’ Group www.constructing excellence.org.uk Civil Engineering Contractors Association www.ceca.co.uk Federation of Master Builders www.fmb.org.uk GMB Union www.gmb.org.uk Build UK www.builduk.org Unite the Union www.unitetheunion.com CSCS Board Directors come from: June 2017 June 2017 www.cscs.uk.com www.cscs.uk.com Which card is right for you?
