Stocksigns have launched a range of signs to support The Construction Skills Certification Scheme.

The new signs not only help to promote the initiative but also serve as reminder to employers and workers alike, the importance of becoming registered.

The scheme was launched in 1995 by the construction industry to bring different occupational schemes together under one set of standards with one recognisable badge.

The aim of the scheme is to set an industry standard for the quality of work onsite, to improve industry health and safety and to encourage construction employers to use qualified workers.

It provides employers and clients with proof that cardholders have the skills and competence to do their jobs.

The scheme is managed by Construction Skills Certification Scheme and represents construction employers, trade unions and clients.

Organisations such as the Major Contractors Group, the National Specialist Contractors Council, the Housing Corporation, the Office of Government Commerce and the Construction Clients Group support CSCS by recommending that CSCS registered workers only, be allowed to work on their sites.

To qualify for a CSCS card a site worker needs to be able to demonstrate their occupational competence (generally via an N/SVQ qualification) and pass the construction health and safety test.
