Site managers should regularly check cards electronically using CSCS Smart Check to ensure they are genuine, in date, and confirm that the holder has the required training and qualifications for their occupation.
Visual card inspections are not enough to spot fraudulently obtained cards.
CSCS Smart Check – available as an API for existing systems, a mobile app and via CSCSSmartCheck.co.uk – is the quickest and easiest way of verifying cards from across the 38 CSCS Alliance schemes.
