Hi scaffystrac unfortunately it doesn't ccnsg and cscs are two different cards and it all boils down to the principal contractor and what their requirements are we all know ccnsg is the daddy but for certain contractors like kier they wont let you on their sites without a cscs hope this helps scc

Do you have a CISRS card? The CCNSG safety passport will cover you for the H&S element and as such, you can renew your scaffolding card with it. You don't need the CSCS.
If you don't hold a CISRS card however, then you'll need the CSCS to get on site.
