The card verification platform CSCS Smart Check has officially launched a major data upgrade. The platform is the only system that verifies all 2.3 million cards carrying the CSCS logo.
What is changing? The new system captures richer, site-level data during card scans through new API fields, including:
-
GPS Coordinates: Pinpointing exactly where a card is read.
-
Site ID/Name: Identifying the specific project location.
-
Read Reason: Clarifying if the check is for a pre-induction, regular induction, routine check, or daily site entry.
Why does this matter to NAS Members? Aside from streamlining workforce planning and helping contractors track skills gaps across regions, this digital upgrade serves as a critical compliance tool. With the strict requirements of the Building Safety Act, major principal contractors are heavily scrutinising site competence. This upgrade gives them a transparent, real-time look at the exact qualifications on their projects.
💡 The NAS Advantage: Are Your Teams Fully Compliant?
With site access systems tightening across the UK, there has never been a more critical time to ensure your fit-out teams, trainees, and specialists hold the correct credentials.
