A Solution for Groundworks and Civil Engineering Sector

Whether you are an employer or an employee in the construction industry, you will have heard about the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS card). And, you could be wondering, “How does a CSCS card benefit me?”

 

Well, CSCS cards are becoming a necessary requirement in the construction industry. Actually, they determine the chances of construction workers getting jobs in the industry.

Why Construction Workers Need A CSCS Card

Yes, your experience in a particular field of construction is indisputably important. However, with the increased emphasis on construction industries to improve on standards and safety, employers and contractors want construction workers to have a nationally recognised qualification for their speciality.

 

CSCS cards prove that those working on a construction site have relevant training and qualifications for the tasks they are doing. Therefore, employers are increasingly verifying if all the workers on their construction sites have CSCS cards that match their qualifications. Notably, CSCS cards vary based on the construction job.

Benefits of CSCS Card Holders to the Contractor

While having a CSCS is not a legal requirement (yet) for getting construction jobs, most principal contractors require that all construction workers on site hold a CSCS card. Before obtaining a CSCS card, the applicant must prove that they have the competency in handling hazardous substances, as well as health and safety awareness.

 

As a principal contractor, you have a huge workload awaiting you. The project has to complete on time and to the highest standards possible. Therefore, while it is your responsibility, you hardly have time to check if all your workforce at the construction site has their CSCS cards. If possible, all construction workers showing up at your site should have their CSCS cards.

 

Fortunately, it is possible!
