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 the job they are on site to do.

Visual card inspections are not enough to spot cards that are fake, have been fraudulently obtained or were revoked after being issued.

CSCS Smart Check is the quickest and easiest way to verify cards from across the 37 CSCS Alliance schemes using CSCSSmartCheck.co.uk, by downloading the free mobile app via the App Store or Google Play or by building the API into existing site access and induction systems.
