Why do you need a CSCS card?
A CSCS card shows employers that you have completed the recognised qualification and health and safety test required for your construction role. Many sites ask you to hold the correct card before allowing you to work on site.
Your card should match your work and responsibilities. Employers can check that it is current and valid using CSCS Smart Check.
