CSCS and F?S Safe Pass have a mutual recognition agreement, so if you have one you do not need the other.
Quarry Passport ?run by Safety Pass Alliance, and often confused with Safe Pass. The Quarry Passport is an independent scheme used by some operators, it is not a legal requirement. From 1st November 2009 persons involved in Schedule 1 activities (which include operating digging machines, mobile cranes and site dumpers) in a quarry will be required to hold a Quarries Skills Certification Scheme registration card. As SPA are a competitor of CSCS and they two cards involve completely different industries (quarrying and construction) I doubt the two cards are interchangeable.
