Our SNIJIB/CSCS Grade Cards are proof of operatives having passed the recognised SNIJIB/CSCS Health & Safety Test.
All SNIJIB cards are also registered on the CSCS Smart Check database. Click here for instructions on how to find this.
Your SNIJIB/CSCS Grade Card expires every 5 years, when your SNIJIB/CSCS date does. In order to renew your SNIJIB/CSCS Grade Card, you must therefore pass a new SNIJIB/CSCS Health and Safety Test.
