The CSCS Green Labourer Card is essential for anyone looking to start or progress a career in the UK construction industry. It demonstrates that you have a verified level of health, safety, and environmental awareness — and that you’re ready to work safely on-site as a general labourer or site operative.

Holding a CSCS Labourer Card is often a requirement for gaining access to construction sites, particularly for those working under supervision or assisting skilled trades. It’s a vital step for newcomers to the industry, apprentices, or those transitioning from other sectors into construction.

The Labourer Card is ideal for individuals who do not yet hold higher-level trade qualifications, such as NVQs or apprenticeships. It provides a recognised entry point and is widely used by site workers, general operatives, and those aiming to build experience before progressing toward more advanced roles and qualifications within the industry.

At MJ Electrical Training, we’ll guide you through the two most straightforward and approved routes to gain your CSCS Labourer Card. We’ll explain the training options available, highlight the certification requirements, and help you determine the best course based on your background and experience.

If you’re unsure where to begin, or which option is right for you, we’re here to help. Everything you need to get started is outlined below — and if you have questions at any stage, feel free to get in touch via live chat or phone.

To apply for your CSCS Labourer Card, you must complete one recognised Health & Safety qualification and pass the CITB Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) Test for Operatives. The two course options available through MJ Training meet the CSCS requirement and are delivered with flexibility in mind.

Your next step is to choose the course that best suits your schedule and preferred learning style — both options are priced at £174.00 Inc VAT and fully CSCS-approved.

To apply for a CSCS Green Labourer Card, you need to complete two key steps:

  1. Pass an approved Health & Safety qualification, such as the IOSH Safety, Health & Environment for Construction Workers or the City & Guilds Level 1 Award in Health & Safety in a Construction Environment.

  2. Pass the CITB Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) test for Operatives, taken at an approved test centre.

At MJ Electrical Training, we provide the required Health & Safety training in fully CSCS-approved formats — either through a live virtual classroom or a flexible self-paced online course, both priced at just £174.00 inc VAT.

We will support and guide you through the full CSCS application process, from completing your training to submitting your online application. There is no need to pay third-party companies to do this for you — applying directly through the official CSCS website is simple, secure, and often quicker.

Once you’ve completed your training and passed the CITB test, we’ll show you exactly how to upload your certificate and apply for your card step-by-step.

If you’re unsure where to begin, our team is here to help. You focus on completing the training — we’ll take care of the rest.

The list below outlines the approved Health & Safety qualifications that are accepted by CSCS as part of the application process for the Green Labourer Card. At MJ Electrical Training, we offer two of the most accessible and popular options:

Our IOSH Safety, Health & Environment for Construction Workers course is delivered online in a live virtual classroom via Microsoft Teams, led by an experienced tutor. This one-day course is available weekly and costs just £174.00 Inc VAT.
