I've got a management level card for CSCS, and found it as useful as the groundworker level, especially in relation to archaeology work.
Many more exciting questions on electricity voltages (that I'm not allowed to touch on site), and I know where and who keeps the CDM file on major projects. Knowing precisely what a CDM file is is another matter!
Hey, its an attempt at health and safety and to improve levels in the construction industry, which is also a good thing, but I think even the construction industry is finding it a little weak.
Its a bit like the driving test really - you learn to pass the test, but that doesn't translate into the real world. Far too many sites where everyone is on a CSCS card, but still act like muppets!
Properly written risk assessments by competent management that everyone has signed up to and is checked on is the way!:face-approve:
