Who Needs One?

The CSCS Green Card is required by construction sites if you are going to work there as a labourer or need general access to carry out your job (for example as a security guard, installer cleaner or even visitor). The card provides holders with the knowledge of the main hazards they could come across whilst working onsite.

How Long Do They Last?

CSCS Green Cards are valid for 5 years and can only be be renewed 6 months before and after their expiry date. 

Why Are They Required?

CSCS Cards prove that holders have completed appropriate training required to work onsite. They help contractors and employers control site access using cards using readers, tablets or mobiles avoiding the need to manually record this. Cards also play an important part in improving standards and safety on UK construction sites through raising awareness of individuals responsibilities for health and safety along with best working practices.

Are They A Legal Requirement?

Although CSCS Cards are not a legal requirement the majority of house builders, recruitment agencies and large contractors require labourers and visitors to hold a valid CSCS Green Labourers card.
