How to Apply for the CSCS Green Labourers Card
To get your Green CSCS Card and begin working on construction sites, you’ll need to pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Operatives Test—often referred to as the Labourers Card test—at a local test centre. The test must have been taken within the past two years, and you’ll need your CITB pass certificate as proof. In addition, you must complete the Health, Safety and Awareness (HS&A) qualification or an approved equivalent. While this course used to require taking a full day off work, it can now be completed online in under 4 hours—from the comfort of your home, at any time, day or night.
