Depends what you do on site, theres basically, visitors, trainees and skilled workers, obviously visitors and trainees are not likely to have any qualifications.

Everyone has to have the H+S course as basic even a visitor, but there card will state purely that

on there site follow and click the prompts in blue

On the site go to CARD FINDER
https://www.cscs.uk.com/card-finder/

Step1 type labourer, it moves to step 2 and list comes up click on that blue list it changes to
Step 3 click relevant qualifications.

...................................................................................................................

STEP 3


Please select which of the following you have:

  • A valid Champion Groundworks Health and Safety Awareness in the Construction Industry
  • A valid GNMA Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment Certificate
  • A valid JTJ Introduction to Construction Course Certificate
  • A valid One day Site Safety Plus Health and Safety Awareness Certificate
  • A valid Priestman Associates, Principles of Construction Site Health and Safety Certificate
  • DSA Health and Safety Awareness Course certificate
  • ESP Foundation into Construction Course

  • Royal Environmental Health Institute of Scotland (REHIS) Elementary Health and Safety Course
  • Rushmoor Borough Council Health and Safety in Construction Environment L1
  • Safety Pass Alliance (SPA) Core Construction Course
If you do not have any of these click here


...................................................................................................................

If you have any qualifications it moves to step 4
Step 4, click on the qualification in blue, if it is enough it will move to
step 5 what card you can have and how to get it usually a GREEN card

If at step 3 you had none of the listed qualifications then click at the bottom where it says CLICK HERE
lt will then move on and ask you why, if your a TRAINEE it will allow you to move on. to get a red TRAINEE card.
If you are in process of getting a QCF you will also find there an option EXPERIENCED WORKER to get a red card till you achieve that.


If its the GREEN card you want go here and click on the green card for details though your likely to need at least one qualification from the list at Step 3 above

You just turn up and look dumb, then you will get a green card.
Not very helpful, but providing you know not to drink anti-freeze on-site, they will pass you.
