Unlike the Site Safety Plus you do not have to resit this after 5 years.

If you are applying for a Green Labourer’s Card you need to be aware of changes implemented from 1st July 2014
Green Card Changes
From 1st July 2014 the green Construction Site Operative (CSO) card is no longer being issued. There is a new green CSCS card only available for people working in labouring occupations. If you have a green CSO this will be valid until its expiry date after which you will need to achieve either a Level 1 Award in Health and safety in a Construction Environment which you can undertake at Chameleon as a distance learning course or a one day Site Safety Plus Certificate before being able to take the Health and Safety and Environment test. We are pleased to offer CSCS training in Swadlincote, Burton, Pinxton, and Chesterfield, whilst we are easily accessible for students in Derby, Tamworth, Lichfield, Coalville, Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham.
