What cards do I need before I start working as a Scaffolding Labourer ?

[scotlandguy86]

Im wondering if anyone can tell me whether I need only a cscs card, a cisrs card or both of these cards before I can start employment as a Scaffolding Labourer ?

I believe you can get a Scaffolders Labourer card.
Very similar to the CSCS touchscreen but has more Scaffold specific questions.

Though im not 100% sure.
Have you tried a goooooooooooooooooooogle search of it?
Id get the link up for you myself but im on my phone.

I had a look around google but cant seem to find out if I only need the cisrs card or if i need to get a cscs card as well

Qoes a labourer working for a scaffolding company need a CISRS card?

Qoes a labourer working for a scaffolding company need a CISRS card?

Even though this employee may never leave the floor he should still apply for a CISRS Labourer card.

In order to apply he should ring CISRS helpline for an application form 0844 815 7223 and will need to complete a ConstructionSkills H&S test (tel 0344 944 4488) and complete the employer declaration/Labourer application form.

When completed, the form should be returned with a photograph of the operative, proof of the H&S test, and a cheque made payable to ConstructionSkills for 26.50
