Counterfeit Competence / Skills Cards What happened? During the course of an incident investigation, a London Overground contractor found two operatives working on a construction site with counterfeit CPSC (Construction Plant Competence Scheme) cards. These were convincing counterfeits and had not been identified in visual checks. CITB have been informed and are investigating.

Recommendations: Crossrail Health and Safety Assurance team are currently carrying out a check of CSCS/ CPCS/TSC cards during their audits and surveillance visits. It is recommended that all Competence / Skills cards held by operatives working on Crossrail sites are authenticated. This can be done online via www.citb.co.uk or by phoning 0844 815 7274. It is also suggested that the identity of the individual should be checked at the same time. All contractors are reminded to authenticate all Competence / Skills cards before operatives commence work on Crossrail sites for the first time.
