Air Tightness Testing removed from CSCS Card Scheme<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following discussions with key industry representatives, including CITB and employer representatives, it has been agreed that a number of CRO occupations are non-construction related and should be removed from the scheme entirely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This includes Air Tightness Testing & Sound Insulation Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A full list of the\noccupations removed from the scheme is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CSCS will not be\nissuing cards for non-construction related occupations, this means some workers\nwill be arriving on site without a card. It is the responsibility of the site\nmanagers to induct non-construction related workers and escort them where\nappropriate in order that they can carry out their work safely on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The decision not to issue CSCS cards for non-construction related occupations is a practical step towards achieving the Construction Leadership Council\u2019s requirements<\/a> and ensures we are able to certify applicants to the scheme hold a construction related, nationally recognised qualification.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n This decision is\nalso fully in line with the Build UK Training Standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Should your entry to site be refused by a contractor because you do not hold a CSCS card, please direct them to this webpage.<\/a>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
