Description
From 1st July 2014 the green Construction Site Operative (CSO) card is no longer being issued. There is a new green CSCS card only available for people working in labouring occupations.
CSCS’ role is to provide a scheme for the construction industry that confirms site workers’ training and qualifications.
Many site workers who are carrying out skilled occupations have been applying for the green CSO card as the easiest route to gain access to construction sites.
This makes it difficult for contractors to use CSCS cards as a reliable method of checking that site workers have the appropriate skills to work on construction sites safely and effectively.
How to Gain the CSCS Green Labourer Card
Route 1
Complete the Cskills Site safety Awareness course & Cskills H&S operative test which will get you the 5 year card – both course renewable after 5 years.
Site Safety Awareness Course
This course highlights potential hazards when working on site and provides practical advice on keeping yourself and your colleagues safe.
It covers your individual and employer’s responsibilities, including what you can do if you think anyone’s health and safety is being put at risk.
