All construction workers should hold the relevant CSCS card to access a construction site, but those attending site to perform a non-construction occupation should not be expected to carry a card.
The occupations listed below are considered non-construction. If you work in one of these occupations you do not require a CSCS card to access site – in addition, in most cases Chief Executive and Director roles are non-construction and do not require cards.
It is the responsibility of site management teams to induct non-construction workers on the health, safety and environmental aspects of the site before escorting them where appropriate.
Should your entry to site be incorrectly refused because you do not hold a CSCS card, please direct the site manager to this webpage, the Build UK Training Standard or ask that they contact CSCS directly.
Note: the list below is under regular review. If you would like to discuss amendments to the list please contact communications@cscs.co.uk.
