The Home Building Skills Partnership
The Home Building Skills Partnership
The Home Builders Federation is committed to supporting the home building industry to overcome challenges in attracting talent and developing skills within the workforce, and, in doing so, progressing the culture of the sector. We developed the Home Building Skills Partnership (HBSP) to bring together home builders, the supply chain and key stakeholders to collaborate on initiatives and influence policy that leads to real change.
Following the withdrawal of the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS), Construction Site Visitor card, and in response to home builders wishes, HBSP developed the Home Build Visitors Card.
The purpose of the card is to help ensure that workers who often visit construction sites, but do not perform a construction related job (such as HR), can be accounted for. The card can verify that site visitors have the basic knowledge and understanding of health and safety on site by passing the CITB Health Safety and Environmental test.
By using smart technology built into the Card and with a card reader or the Checarda App downloaded to smartphones or tablet devices, cards can be checked and data recorded within seconds.
Please note that the Home Builder Visitor Card has been developed to meet specific sector requirements and therefore is not affiliated to CSCS. Most homebuilders require workers on their sites to hold a valid CSCS card as a means to certify their qualifications and training. It is important that you hold the right CSCS card for the type of work you undertake. If you do not have a card, or hold the wrong card, access to home building sites may be denied.
