The construction industry is moving towards a fully trained, fully qualified workforce. A workforce with the necessary skills and qualifications delivers higher quality, more cost-efficient work.
The improved teamwork and increased awareness of health and safety also means earlier completion dates, less time wasted correcting mistakes and fewer accidents.
To qualify for OSAT, operatives are requred to have considerable roofing experience. This is not for the learner as it is specifically designed to give an experienced roofer a technical qualification (NVQ2) to enable them to obtain a CSCS card
Roofing operatives benefit too. Being trained to nationally recognised qualifications such as an NVQ shows employers they have the necessary skills to do the job, and, combined with an up to date health and safety test, they can obtain a CSCS card.
More and more roofing companies and their clients are demanding that roofing operatives on their sites prove their competence with card scheme membership.
You may already have a highly experienced workforce who you trust and rely on to get the job done, but often, these workers don't have the qualifications to get the CSCS card they will need to get access to the site in future.
THIS IS WHY OSAT HAS BEEN CREATED.
