Why You Need a CSCS Green Labourer Card?

To start working on a construction site in the UK, the CSCS Green Labourer Card is an essential first step. It’s proof that you’ve got the right knowledge to work safely and responsibly on site. Most principal contractors and construction companies also now require all site operatives to hold a valid CSCS card before they’ll let you on site.

By completing our CSCS Green Labourer course, you’ll meet the industry standards set by CITB and CSCS, and you’ll also stand out to employers as someone who takes safety seriously. Whether you’re new to construction or returning after a break, this qualification opens the door to site work and future progression in the industry.

At CISTC, we provide the CITB Site Safety Plus training course. It is a one-day Health & Safety Awareness Training Course. Please contact us on 01252 855433 to book a course or for more information.
