CSCS card scheme launched 
for auto doors
November 2019

The Door & Hardware Federation has launched a CSCS-approved card partner scheme in collaboration with the Automatic Door Suppliers Association for anyone working with industrial doors, domestic garage doors, automated gates & traffic barriers and metal or timber doors.

Commercial manager, Patricia Sowsbery-Stevens explained: “Whilst not a legislative requirement, CSCS cards are supported by the government and provide proof that individuals working on construction sites have the appropriate training and qualifications for the job that they are doing. By ensuring that the workforce is appropriately qualified or experienced, the card plays a vital role in improving standards and safety on UK construction sites.  Indeed, the majority of principal contractors and major house builders require construction workers on their sites to hold a valid card.”

As part of the scheme, and in addition to any criteria set by CSCS such as a relevant NVQ for the Skilled Worker card, DHF is asking that anyone who is applying for a card has evidence of CPD (continued professional development). This will usually be in the form of a valid DHF training course certificate.
