CSCS Green Card Changes

As of 1st July 2014, the requirements to achieve the Green CSCS Card are changing.

The CSCS Green Construction Site Operative (CSO) Card will no longer be issued and there will be a new Green CSCS Card only available for people working in Labouring Occupations.

These new requirements state that along with the CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) Test, the following QCF qualification or Site Safety Plus Course must be achieved in order to apply for the new CSCS Green Labourer Card.

Benefits of the Site Safety Plus Health & Safety Awareness Course:

• 1-Day Course instead of a 40 Guided Learning Hours QCF Qualification
• The course aims to ensure that candidate’s individual responsibilities are understood, including why they are carrying out their identified duties and what is expected of them to ensure that they contribute to the safety of the workplace
• Supported by GE707 Publication
• Certificate has 5 year life
