Construction Skills Certification Scheme
The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) is a program in the United Kingdom designed to ensure that construction workers have the necessary skills and training for their jobs. It provides a certification card that indicates a worker's qualifications and competence in various construction roles. This helps employers verify that their workers meet industry standards for safety and skills.
CSCS cards are issued after individuals pass a health, safety, and environment test, along with any specific qualifications related to their trade. The scheme aims to improve safety on construction sites and promote a skilled workforce, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of construction projects in the UK.
