The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) has updated its recommendation on Industry Card schemes following the introduction of the Building Safety Act and the increased focus on competence. TTA members can find the updated advice as part of their exclusive access to paywalled content on TTA’s website.

Following the successful rollout of CSCS Smart Check, which enables cards across all 38 card schemes carrying the CSCS logo to be verified using the same platform, CSCS Go Smart has now been turned off. CSCS has provided a video guide to explain this transition from CSCS GO Smart to CSCS Smart Check in further detail.

For now, cards carrying the CSCS logo obtained via Industry Accreditation will continue to be used. They are set to expire on 31st December 2024 and will no longer be renewed from 30th June 2024. CSCS provides guidance designed to help Blue, Gold and Black Industry Accreditation cardholders move onto an appropriate card.
