In the construction industry, a diverse array of cards and certifications are imperative, each tailored to specific roles and responsibilities. Chief among these is the CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) card, which is the bedrock of construction certification in the UK. It attests to an individual’s competence and knowledge in their respective job roles. For those operating heavy machinery and plant equipment, the CPCS (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) card is a prerequisite, ensuring the safe operation of such equipment. Site supervisors and managers are mandated to hold the SSSTS (Site Supervisors’ Safety Training Scheme) or SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) certifications, emphasizing robust health and safety management.
