Getting Qualified – CSCS
Wessex Grounds Services were delighted to put 9 of our employees including our Managing Director Stephen Harris and our Supervisors on the Health, Safety and Awareness Training programme on Tuesday the 30th July 2024 to gain certification/update their Construction Skills Certification Scheme cards (CSCS).
The CSCS scheme aims to ensure that candidates know a wide range of topics regarding safety and productivity on sites. Having a valid CSCS card shows employers and clients alike that they can carry out jobs safely.
We were pleased to work with Koplant Construction Training and would also like to give a big thank you to Pete Tewson from Kingston Maurward College, a Construction Teacher for putting us in touch with Koplant. This has meant that WGS were able to get 9 staff members through their CSCS Cards. We are thankful to have been able to use the construction department facilities at Kingston Maurward College to run the training session.
Health and Safety are paramount here at Wessex Grounds Services for all job roles, and ensuring we have up-to-date CSCS cards is essential for those working in the landscaping/construction environment.
We are proud to say that they all passed despite it being on one of the hottest days of the year. If you are looking for a commerical landscaping project to be completed by a professional company or require any grounds maintenance then please be sure to contact us by email – enquiries@wessexgroundsservices.co.uk or call us on 0300 303 8616. We look forward to hearing from you.
