Construction Plant Competence Scheme
|
|
CPCS is the largest and most highly recognised card scheme for the plant
industry, helping prove workers' operating skills and health and safety
awareness.
More than 150,000 individuals carry the card and it is required to be able
to operate most categories of plant on MCG (Major Contractors Group) and
NCF (National Contractors Federation) sites. Put simply, it is the main
standard for plant operators.
The scheme is directed by a management board of employers, trade unions,
federations and training providers who consult with the rest of the industry
and set the standards of the scheme.
The scheme is also amalgamated to CSCS (the Construction Skills Certification
Scheme), which is becoming the standard for the whole construction industry.
