Hiring CSCS Labourers in the UK — FAQs
What CSCS card do labourers need on site?
Most sites require a minimum CSCS Green Card (Labourer), obtained through the Health, Safety & Environment test. Principal contractor sites may require a Blue Skilled Worker Card for specific labour roles.
Can you supply CSCS labourers at short notice?
Yes — for most regions Phoenix Gray can supply CSCS-verified labourers within 24 hours for urgent requirements. We maintain a live bench rather than a static database.
What is the typical CSCS labourer day rate in the UK?
CSCS labourer rates typically range from £13–£18 per hour depending on location and site type. London and South East rates are typically higher than regional markets.
Do your labourers carry their own PPE?
We ask all labourers to attend site with basic PPE (hard hat, hi-vis vest, safety boots). Specialist PPE requirements should be provided by the principal contractor.
Can you supply banksmen?
Yes — we supply banksmen with the appropriate CPCS A40 or equivalent qualification. Let us know if this is a specific requirement.
