OUR COMMITMENT TO THE CSCS/CPCS

Mann Construction Ltd is actively seeking that all our employees who work or regularly visit our sites have their skills recognised by obtaining CSCS/CPCS cards appropriate to their roles.

The first step in obtaining a CSCS/CPCS card is to pass the appropriate CSCS Health & Safety Test, usually at operative, supervisor or manager level. To help improve health and safety standards on our site we book and pay for this test for all site related employees whenever possible. We also provide revision material and training as and when required.

Appropriate cards are then achieved through various routes including OSAT (On-Site Assessment and Training) whereby our employees competence is assessed (training is delivered when required) resulting in NVQ qualifications for our employees.

CSCS Cards held by employees include – Contracts Managers, Construction Project Managers, Construction Site Managers, Construction Site Supervisors, Quantity Surveyors, Construction Operative General, Construction Operative Drainage Construction, Construction Operative Pavior, Formworkers, Steelfixers amongst others.

CPCS Cards held by employees include – Competence and Trained Plant Operators cards for Excavator 360†, Forward Tipping Dumpers, Ride on Rollers, Slinger Signaller amongst others.
