CIC registrar obtains new CSCS PQP Card

CIC Operations Director and Registrar, Richard Biggs, has passed the new Higher Managerial Health and Safety test and has applied for the new Professionally Qualified Persons (PQP) card. Richard already holds a black senior manager’s card, having taken the health and safety test as a ‘guinea pig’ for CIC when CSCS cards were first introduced.

The PQP card, issued to professionals who can demonstrate a high level of health and safety knowledge through the achievement of a new Higher Managerial Health and Safety Test, widens the scope of CSCS to cover non-site based professionals who have health and safety responsibilities – such as consultants, clients and engineers – to ensure that everyone in the construction industry can demonstrate competence, qualifications and health and safety awareness.
