The purpose of CSCS is to help workers prove they are competent to do the job. It also helps to improve safety on site by raising health and safety standards and encouraging companies to use skilled operatives who know what they are doing, as they have to pass the Constrction Skills Health and Safety test to qualify for a CSCS card.
Many local Councils and certainly, the Major Contractors Group are demanding proof of competence before allowing workers on to their sites.
Some of the benefits of the Scheme are as follows:
It helps operatives get on to more sites
It is a simpler way for operatives to prove their skills
It raises the general quality of workmanship on site
It improves health and safety awareness across the industry
NOT HAVING A CSCS CARD COULD SERIOUSLY HARM YOUR CAREER AND/OR YOUR BUSINESS
