As of the 1st July, the Construction Skills Certificate Scheme (CSCS) are no longer issuing the Green Construction Site Operative (CSO) card, replacing it with a brand new Green Labourer Card.
The CSCS’ role is to provide a scheme for the construction industry that confirms site workers’ training and qualifications.
However many site workers carrying out skilled occupations have been applying for the green CSO card simply as the easiest route to gain access to construction sites. This in turn has made 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.
The new card requires applicants to achieve the Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment qualification, designed to improve safe working practices on UK construction sites. This isn’t just applicable to newcomers to the construction industry either – those who need to renew their card will also require this qualification.
We are pleased to announce we are fully accredited to deliver this new qualification and are taking bookings.
