CSCS Green Labourer Card Changes

CSCS are making changes to the Green Labourer card from February 2025 onwards.

The card is changing from a 5 yr to a 2 yr card. If a business can confirm and prove that they’re staying in a labouring role, the card will be extended to the full 5 years.

Upcoming changes to the Labourer card 

From February 1st 2025, on first application the Labourer card will reduce from five years to two years, with workers who continue in labouring roles able to renew for five years by providing evidence they are employed in a labouring role. The accompanying CITB Health, safety, and environment test used for the initial two-year card application only will see its validity extended to three years, allowing it to be used for renewal.

Those who currently hold a Labourer card and wish to renew from February onwards will be eligible for another five-year card by providing the same evidence. A full list of FAQs is available below.
