Hello all working in the construction industry I understand the Black CSC Management Card is valued in Construction but is their any point in obtaining it if you are working as a Construction Health and Safety Professional?

Why would a health and safety professional want a Construction Manager's card when they are unlikely to  have the necessary discipline qualifications?

I very rarely visit construction sites, to much risk and blokes don't like being told what to do so best avoided. But I had to have a cscs card, I used the yellow card for 5 yrs asa visitor which the Tier 1 contractors accepted.

When that was discontinued I gained the white card and that is also acceptabloe at Tier 1 contractor sites my company visit.

Black card was unobtainable to me due the strict criteria for accreditation

Do you mean CSCS Card?

I did get one as i was sometimes visiting sites where we werent the main contracter, therefore it was more of a prefessional recognition thing for the NVQ 6 route i went.

I dont know whats its like now but some contractors would let you on site without the appropriate CSCS card.

I would recommend
