"It is not a legal requirement to hold a CSCS card to work on any site. It is up to the Contractor or the Client. However, the majority of sites require them to work and usually, you will have to produce them on initial site induction. Taking a health and safety test is easy and you just have to book one on the CITB website."

"Depends on contractors, some require, some don't, you will have to do another test if required on site."

"No, not now they are getting stricter and stricter due to more and more accidents occurring on sites up and down the country."

"In my experience before covid-19 and Brexit, it was essential to have an up-to-date card, but today they cannot find enough skilled workers as everyone has gone back to their respective European countries which leaves Britain short of skilled labour so the answer is you'll probably be ok without one."

"Hi,

Yes you will need to renew your CSCS card before working on site."

"Yes you are still allowed to work on site only if the boss gives permission, otherwise you will need one."
