CSCS

Regal Carpentry is fully supportive of the CSCS Scheme (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) and shows that the holder is considered to be competent at his or her job, lists any relevant certificate / qualifications and also shows that the holder has passed a Health and Safety test.

Regal Carpentry operatives are registered on the scheme and have regular updates on Health and Safety either via Toolbox Talks or further training courses.

All new operatives are required to register on the scheme and complete the Health and Safety test within two months of joining the company.

It covers all aspects of timber frame construction and is especially geared towards health and safety.
