The CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) is a widely recognised certification scheme for construction workers. It was established in the mid-1990s to improve the competence and safety of construction workers on construction sites.

The main purpose of CSCS is to provide a means of verifying that individuals working in the construction industry have the appropriate skills, qualifications, and training required for their specific roles. It aims to ensure that construction workers have the necessary knowledge and understanding of health and safety practices, as well as the technical skills required to carry out their jobs effectively.

The CSCS operates by issuing a range of different-coloured Construction Skills Certification Cards, commonly known as CSCS cards. These cards act as proof that individuals have met the required standards of competence and health and safety awareness for their respective trades or job roles. The cards are widely recognised across the construction industry and are often a mandatory requirement to access construction sites or secure employment with construction companies.

To work as a labourer and gain access to a construction site you will need the Green CSCS Labourers Card. All applicants must hold a recognised Health and Safety qualification to complete one of the parts required to complete the application process. The City & Guilds 6072-51 Health & Safety in a Construction Environment is approved by the CSCS. 

Our Health and Safety online course with City & Guilds exam has been designed to give construction workers and those needing to access construction sites a streamlined, cost-effective and direct approach to gaining their CSCS Health and Safety qualification.

Using the home exam option, you could be passed and certificated within ten days from enrollment.

Working through the learning outcomes, we will cover what you will need to pass your exam, covering the following lessons:

Lesson 1.
Understanding The Principles of a Risk Assessment for Maintaining and Improving Health and Safety at Work.
Lesson 2.
Understanding The Importance of Safe Manual Handling in the Workplace.
Lesson 3.
Understanding The Importance of Working Safely at Height in the Workplace.
Lesson 4.
Understanding The Risks to Health Within a Construction Environment.
Lesson 5.
Understanding The Important of Woking Around Plant and Machinery Safely.

During and at the end of each lesson, there are test-your-knowledge exercises, quick quizzes and videos outlining the lesson’s key points, helping reinforce the areas we have covered. 

There are more than 200 practice test questions designed to prepare you for your final examination. At the end of the course, we have two timed practice mock examinations, and should you need it, tutor support is available from our qualified Health and Safety experts. 

You will be given an in-depth overview of what to expect on your exam day, helping you to be fully prepared.

By the end of the course, you will be able to demonstrate that you are fully conversant with the Health and Safety regulations surrounding non-skilled work on a construction site and ready to pass your City & Guilds exam.
