CSCS Health and Safety Card

The CITB Construction Skills Health and Safety test is the industry satndard, taken by over 300,000 people every year. It is designed to ensure everybody working in construction has a minimum level of health and safety awareness.

The test is an essential part of qualifying for the major card schemes such as CSCS and affiliated schemes. Without the right card it's difficult to get on site.
