I have been asked on a issue which i am not sure about so i will put it here for peoples views: A fencing/landscaping company has re-new there cscs cards. To do this they also had to re-sit their Lantra Award fencing certificate. They have all re-new there green card - which is the basic health and safety course. The fencers have not received there cards as apparently a man at lantra is saying they need gold cards as well as a supervisor on site. Now these employees work in gangs on two, for large new build housing developers. The pc controls the site with a site agent there at all times. Would you say that each member of the gang of two needs a gold card (Gold card is for supervisors and managers) ? They have managers carry out site checks monthly. To me it seems a bit much requesting that half the work force is to carry out a managers supervisors card ? Thoughts please

Thanks for the reply, So would you say that there is a need for the gold card even though there is site supervison provided by the site agent and assitant ? The company has quite a few pairs of fencers which travel to diffrent sites every day, so would be quite a few people to put through the cscs supervisors and the lantra. Or would it suffice with two green cards and the supervised by pc ?
