Helping you get your CSCS Card

Within the construction industry there is a massive drive towards improving health and safety and reducing the occurrence of accidents on construction sites in the UK. This is being headed by the Main Contractors Group, which is made up of the countries top construction companies. These companies account for over half the work carried out in the British construction industry.

CSCS is firmly linked to government plans to drive the cowboys out of the industry. It raises the standard of workmanship and health and safety and provides a way of identifying competent workers.

CSCS aims to register every competent construction operative within the UK not currently on a skills registration scheme. Operatives will get an individual registration card (similar to a credit card), which lasts for three or five years. The CSCS card also provides evidence that the holder has undergone health and safety awareness training or testing. The time is coming when you might not be able to get a job without a CSCS card.

At Fomac we are committed to the MCG initiative and work through each stage of the application process with our people providing help and encouragement until the full certification is achieved.
