If you have changed occupations since you applied for your previous card you must inform CSCS of this. Usually, CSCS will dispatch your new card on the next working day. Employers can renew multiple cards for their employees at the same time through the online form on the CSCS website. If you lose or break your CSCS card, or it gets stolen this can be a frustrating time as it is likely that you need your card on a day to day basis in order to access your place of work on the construction site.
They will ask for your CSCS registration number or your National Insurance number so make sure that you have one of these to hand before you call. The card you receive will be exactly the same as your previous card, including the same expiry date as the one before. The validity of CSCS cards varies depending on which card you have and range from years. Cards can be renewed up to 6 months prior to the expiry date, and up to 6 months after the expiry date has passed.
The Labourer card ensures that the card holder possesses the minimum required qualifications to work on the construction site and is competent with basic health and safety.
While CSCS Cards are not legally required on all construction sites, the vast majority of employers do require them in order to allow workers on site.
There are alternative qualifications that CSCS accept when applying that are often a quicker and more popular route to gaining your green card, although you will need to attend a refresher course every 3 or 5 years; we can offer any of the following as a suitable alternative:. To apply for most CSCS cards, applicants must:.
Most cards arrive within 20 days. If you have not received your card within 5 weeks, please contact CSCS. Please note: Individuals applying for a CSCS card on behalf of a friend or family member must ensure that the applicant is present when calling us so they can provide the necessary consent over the phone.
If you are an employer wanting to apply for 2 or more cards on behalf of your workers, you can apply online using the Employer Application Form. If you are applying for a single card for a worker, the employee does not need to be present at the time of application. Every CSCS Card has a limited lifespan and will expire, but the majority can be renewed over the phone.
Cards can be renewed from 6 months before, to 6 months after the expiry date shown on the card. Any card which has expired past the 6-month cut off must be applied for as a brand-new card as per the CSCS rules at the time of application. If you need to replace a lost, stolen or broken card, you can call CSCS directly.
