Record every CSCS card in the worker's digital passport. Automatic expiry tracking and reminders. Gate enforcement that blocks expired or missing cards without a manual check on arrival.
Start free trialScanning cards one by one on a phone as workers arrive is not a system. It is a daily task that depends on the person at the gate remembering to do it, having signal to do it, and having time to do it when fifty subcontractors turn up at 7am.
More often, card checks happen on induction day and not again. A card that was valid in January can expire in March with no one on site aware until a card check is triggered by an incident or an HSE inspection. Under CDM 2015, principal contractors must ensure that every worker on site is competent for the work they are assigned. An expired CSCS card is direct evidence they are not.
AttendIQ replaces the daily gate check with a system. Cards are recorded once when workers are added, expiry is tracked automatically, and the right card is enforced at every clock-in without anyone needing to do a check.
Record the CSCS card number, card type and expiry date in the worker's digital passport, with a photo of the card as evidence. If you want to confirm a card is genuine, check it with the free CSCS Smart Check app before you record it.
Every recorded card is tracked against its expiry date. Cards that expire are flagged straight away and admins receive alerts. Workers and employer admins receive expiry reminders at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days by default.
When a worker clocks in, the access rules engine checks every required competency, including CSCS status. An expired or missing CSCS card blocks site entry without anyone needing to check. The worker is told exactly why and what needs to be resolved.
The competency library includes CSCS cards and the main CSCS-affiliated schemes such as CPCS and CISRS, alongside other trade cards and qualifications. Add your own competency types for anything else your sites require.
Every card record carries a confidence score showing where the evidence came from, from a worker's own upload (C1, the lowest) to an entry made by a principal contractor admin. You can set a minimum confidence requirement on access rules, so a card a worker has uploaded themselves does not satisfy the same requirement as one your own team has checked and recorded.
Subcontractors manage their own worker records. As a principal contractor, you see live CSCS compliance data for every worker on your sites, regardless of employer. Requirements set at site level are enforced at clock-in for all workers, including supply chain.
An admin enters the worker's CSCS card number, card type and expiry date, or the worker uploads their card from the app. The record is stored in the worker's digital passport.
Every recorded card is tracked against its expiry date. Newly expired cards are flagged. Reminders go out to workers and employer admins before cards lapse so renewal is not missed.
When a worker arrives on site and clocks in, their recorded CSCS card is checked automatically against your site rules. No valid card on record means no site entry. The access block is logged in the audit trail with a timestamp and reason.
Each worker's CSCS card is recorded in their digital passport with the card number, card type and expiry date. AttendIQ does not connect to the CSCS database: you can still check a card with the free CSCS Smart Check app before recording it. From then on, expiry is tracked automatically and every clock-in is checked against the worker's recorded cards and your site rules, so records never silently go out of date.
The competency library includes CSCS cards and the main CSCS-affiliated schemes such as CPCS and CISRS, alongside other trade cards and qualifications. You can add your own competency types for anything else your sites require.
Automated reminders go to the worker and their employer admin at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days before expiry by default (adjustable per card type). When the card expires, the access rules engine blocks the worker from clocking in to any site where a valid CSCS card is required. The worker is shown exactly which qualification needs renewing. Admins see a live dashboard of all expiring and expired cards across the workforce.
Yes. AttendIQ is built for principal contractors managing multiple subcontractors. Each subcontractor manages their own worker records, including CSCS cards. As a PC, you see live CSCS compliance status for every worker on your sites, regardless of which company employs them. You set the CSCS requirements at site level and AttendIQ enforces them at clock-in for all workers.
No. Smart Check is the CSCS tool for confirming a card is genuine, and AttendIQ does not connect to it. What AttendIQ replaces is the daily gate check: once a card is recorded, expiry is tracked automatically and every clock-in is checked against the worker's recorded cards and your site rules. Card checks become part of your access control rather than something a supervisor has to remember to do at the gate.
Yes. Every change to a card record and every access block due to an expired card is logged with a timestamp, recording what changed and when. If an HSE inspector asks when a worker's card details were last updated, the answer is in the system.
See how AttendIQ tracks CSCS cards across your workforce and blocks non-compliant workers at the gate.
