The CSCS Site Safety Card for the Plumbing Industry.

With effect from 2nd February 2009 the Joint Industry Boards for the Plumbing Industry in England & Wales
(JIB-PMES) and for Scotland & Northern Ireland (SNIJIB) have established the UK Plumbing Heating & Mechanical Engineering Services (UK-PHMES) Registration Scheme..

The new Joint Scheme continues to be affiliated to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS).

The objectives and advantages of the new JOINT UK-PHMES Registration Scheme are to:

• Standardise Plumbing CSCS Registration Cards in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and use a common design.
• Create a common and mutually recognised Grading Structure, based on NVQS/SVQS, as part of the Registration process with “Plumber” as the basic Grade.
• Promote awareness of Health & Safety in the industry, applying testing where necessary, so that PHMES operatives will always endeavour to undertake their duties in a competent and safe manner.
