CSCS Labourer Green Card

Why Do I need a CSCS Green Labourer Card?

If you want to work in construction, you are going to need a CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) Green Labourer’s card providing assurance that you have acquired the necessary level of knowledge to operate safely on a construction site.  Whilst it is not a legal requirement to hold a CSCS card many construction site employers require their employees and sub-contractors to hold valid CSCS Cards.  It demonstrates that individuals have undertaken appropriate training and assists in demonstrating compliance with health and safety regulations.

How Do I Get My CSCS Green Card?

The Three Stages

There are three stages that need to be provided for in obtaining your CSCS Green Labourer Card:

1.  Obtain a Health and Safety qualification related to a construction site environment i.e.

• Complete the CITB Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) course or
• the Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment E-Learning course

2.  Pass the CITB Health Safety and Environment Test

3.  Apply to the CSCS for the card and pay the required fee

Assessment

On completion of the course your knowledge is assessed by a multiple-choice exam

Certification

On successful completion of the above courses you will be awarded with a certificate the CITB: HSA Certificate is valid for a period of 5 years, the E-Learning Certificate is a lifetime award.
