4.0 SCOPE


4.1 The Scheme does not seek to duplicate other certification schemes for specific occupations. Instead, these schemes may merge with CSCS but this can only happen if both schemes agree on the terms and standards.


4.2 The Scheme covers a diverse range of construction occupations in building, civil engineering and allied industries.


4.3 CSCS cards certificate occupational competence including health and safety for those people who require access to construction sites, where individual safety or the safety of others could be at risk, and whose role materially affects construction resources, activities or services.


5.0 OCCUPATIONS OPEN FOR CSCS CARDS


5.1 The Scheme opened on 3 April 1995 and has been progressively extended to cover a wide range of occupations. An up to date list can be found on the CSCS website at www.cscs.uk.com/occupations.


5.2 The Scheme continues to grow and new occupations can open when new National Occupational Standards are developed, subject to Industry demand.
