i just got mines through last month , this my 1st time having one in the 10 years I have been on sites i was always that guy that got away with it lol .. my new card has wall and floor tiler svq level 3 on the back of it and its gold in colour ... apparently there is another card after this one you can sit a further test for with the same svq or nvq that its black in colour ... its for a supervisory and management but under cscs rules you only hold one at any given time.. The gold one goes nicely with my manual handling certificate and 1st aid certificate tho .. The site agents tend to give ya peace if they know yer a 1st aid man that's prob the only reason why I had got away without having one for so long lol ...

 

[afright]

At my age I have no intention of getting one I have done years of site work and do not intend to do any more rather stick to domestic work.

The black one isn't easy to get, you have to show evidence of being in supervisory roll, ie understanding of health and safety welfare etc what situations you've been supervising in,
Better off doing the ssst course if a construction company requests a qualified supervisor on site,
All my labour has to have cscs cards, some if the older chaps just get a site operatives card,
