Do you have your CSCS Card? Here at Paramount Personnel, we have years of experience working in the construction industry and with companies employing in the construction industry. Having a CSCS is essential for the majority of our construction roles. Read on to find out why you need one and how to get one!
Most employers will require that a construction worker has a CSCS card and almost every job that requires working on a site will require you to have a CSCS card. Although a CSCS card is not a legal requirement, nor strictly a qualification either the law states to work on a building site you must be competent in health and safety and the CSCS card demonstrates that. There are different variations of this card, so no matter your level of qualification you can attain a CSCS card, for example, an apprentice or skilled worker, or manager, all hold different CSCS cards.
Most cards are valid for 2-5 years and to get one you will need to pass a relevant CITB Health, Safety, and Environment test in order to qualify for a card.
The CSCS card itself can be purchased for £36. So, if you want to work in the construction industry visit the CSCS website to apply.
