In order to work safely on construction sites in the UK it is often a requirement to hold a valid CSCS Card. To obtain a CSCS Green Labourer Card you must first complete the CITB Health, Safety and Environment touch screen test for Operatives. (known commonly as the touch screen test). This test takes 45 minutes, is multiple choice and must be completed in person at a local test centre. Bookings can be made at over 150 test centres nationwide using this service. You can find a test centre close to you by clicking here.
It is important to note that to obtain the CSCS Green Labourer card you must take the Operatives CITB test. There are a number of different tests under the umbrella of the CITB test and these can be taken for workers looking to obtain certain other CSCS cards such as the CSCS Black card (Managers & Professionals CITB test) or the Gold Supervisor card (Supervisor CITB Test). More information on this can be found on our blog post titled ‘What is the CITB Test?’
How do I apply for the CSCS Labourer card?
