23.0 OCCASIONAL VISITORS CARD

23.1 This card is for those who occasionally visit construction sites, whose occupations are not covered by other CSCS cards.

23.2 These cards are issued on the arrival at construction sites and are withdrawn on departure.

23.3 A doubled sized yellow occasional visitor card is issued and supplied with a neck chain.

23.4 Important note for both visitor cards: the issue of a regular or occasional visitor card does not exempt the employer from their legal responsibilities to ensure the health, safety and welfare of people visiting their construction sites.
