Which CSCS Card for Cleaners?

A CSCS card will enable you to work on almost any construction site in the UK, as most sites require a card showing your credentials in order for you to be eligible for work. CSCS cards are acknowledged nation-wide, among both publicly and privately funded construction sites. Most CSCS cards have a validity period of 5 years. 

Depending on the type of cleaning occupation you have, you may need a more advanced CSCS card. As a general cleaner, a standard entry-level Green Labourer CSCS Card is sufficient. This is one of the most popular and easy-to-attain card types. 

If you are a specialist cleaner, such as an industrial cleaner, you will instead require a CSCS Blue Skilled Worker Card. This is a more advanced card than the CSCS Green Labourers Card, and will require further training to obtain.

Whether you are applying for the CSCS Blue Card or CSCS Green Card, you will be required to take the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test for Operatives.
