About the Construction Skills Register
The Construction Skills Register (CSR) aims to enhance health and safety standards and decrease accidents in the construction industry. This is achieved by requiring all construction workers to complete health and safety training every four years.
The CSR is a registry of construction workers who have successfully completed an industry-approved CSR health and safety training course and assessment.
The goals of the CSR registration scheme include:
– Improving health and safety standards
– Recognizing skills, experience, and qualifications
– Reducing industry risks and accidents
To become registered, workers must undergo at least one day of health and safety training provided by an accredited training provider. Additionally, operatives can be assessed to determine their competency in their specific skill area. Successful applicants receive a photographic identity card, which serves as proof of their health and safety training, skills, and qualifications where applicable.
