The CCDO Card Scheme is recognised throughout the demolition industry. Many major developers and local authorities who commission demolition projects recognise that a CCDO carded workforce has the necessary education, expertise, and experience to carry out a project successfully and safely.
Counterfeits are a threat to any accreditation scheme, and unfortunately the CCDO Card Scheme is no exception. The CCDO card scheme exists to ensure that all demolition workers possess the necessary qualifications to perform their roles safely and effectively. Unqualified individuals using fake cards lack the essential training required to handle demolition equipment and hazardous materials safely. Their presence on-site increases the risk of accidents, endangering themselves and others.
We ask contractors to be vigilant and safe, ensure everyone on site has a valid CCDO card for the job. There must be a someone on site responsible for this. The only way this individual can check a CCDO card is valid with 100% certainty is by using the CSCS Smart Check App. It’s the quickest, easiest, and most secure method.
What can be an immediate tell-tale sign of a fraudulent CCDO card is these design discrepancies:
The old cards with the metal chip are still valid and will remain valid until the expiry dates displayed on the front of each card.
Look for signs of poor-quality printing and discrepancies in logos or fonts. Authentic cards are printed with high precision and adhere strictly to official designs.
