Build UK publishes CSCS FAQs

Build UK has published a series of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on CSCS to respond to the most common queries raised by members and the wider industry. The FAQs provide an introduction to the CSCS businesses and the CSCS Alliance, an overview of how cards are obtained and used to access site, and a summary of how cards carrying the CSCS logo provide assurance that an individual has the required qualifications and training as part of demonstrating competence under the new Building Safety Regime.

Cards carrying the CSCS logo are required only by those undertaking recognised construction occupations on site. Cards are not issued for non‐construction occupations, those visiting sites or those undertaking informal work experience. However, such individuals may still be required to provide evidence that they can carry out their task safely and a separate risk assessment and additional supervision may be required.
