CSCS card

Hello RF,

Just a note to say that I only had my 'pass' certificate (ECS), and this was fine up until my last 'site', where they would not accept the cert along with my passport. They informed me that they had been in touch with the JIB, and came to the conclusion that unless the certificate was under six months old, a 'card' was needed for me to remain on site. :roll: .

the last site i was on they wouldnt let a faella nad his son on until he paid for the card over the phone there and then :shock:
I am sure that you will pass, but the best of luck anyway.
All the best,

Ed


the last site i was on they wouldnt let a fella and his son on until he paid for the card over the phone there and then he was the same just kept usin the pass certificate:shock: not theis time and they knew he had passed and exactly where his son was upto with his citb accesing.
 
The assessment will be made up from questions covering ten topics. The numbers of questions that will be used from
each topic are:
General Health and Safety at Work................................ 5
Manual Handling Operations........................................... 4
Reporting Accidents........................................................ 3
Personal Protective Equipment at Work .........................4
Health and Hygiene.........................................................3
Fire and Emergency........................................................ 4
Work at Height ................................................................ 5
Work Equipment .............................................................4
Special Site Hazards....................................................... 3
Electrotechnical............................................................... 5

the difference is the electrotechnical content,

funny my test is allways a pen and paper muliple choice run by the ECA @ loughboro, with no notification of wrong answers, as they dont get marked there.

The CSCS logo then appears on your JIB card. nice hologram :wink:
 
its all a complete waste of time anyway

Maybe so, but the majority of sites will not let us on unless we have passed it, so I don't have much choice really.


Oh and an update for you. I certainly wasn't expecting this outcome:






Cancelled due to snow :lol:


Perhaps as well. The jounrney should have taken about 20mins. It took two hours, and I had only allowed 1 1/2 :lol:

I'm now doing it on saturday, so I'll (hopefully) let you know then :D
 
Well I've been and sat the exam.

What a waste of my time, but we have to do these things :lol:

Anyway I'm sure you'll all be pleased to know I passed :D
