Anyone know if you require a CSCS card for carrying out DIY jobs

I can't think why you would need one for general DIY. Gas, electrics and glazing have their own requirements that can affect DIY but CSCS won't help with those.
NO. mOST BUILDING SITES REQUIRE THEM.
From what I can understand if you work in the construction or Building trade you are being asked if you have a CSCS card and to get one you have to take a health & safety test and produce a NVQ plus or some other type of qualification. Someone must know about this on the DIY forum.
If you are doing DIY jobs then, by definition, you are not working in the construction or building trades and no CSCS required.

Your own DIY or as a "DIY" aka small jobs as paid occupation (aka The Medway Handyman)?
I have one, I told you. You need one to get onto most building sites. If you're not going onto sites, why would you need one?
Is this some sort of a wind up?
Is google broken?
I don't have one. AFAIK I don't need one.

How do anencephalics get on the Internet?

Yes, I know. And the answer is no.
Yes, but it does at least provide the resource for researching the question. I don't know how to enter the Subject into the box automatically, although I know it can be done, but I didn't care to go that far.
so you went to the trouble of posting a link that added.. um.. nothing ?!
lazy bastard ;>)

It's the CRB checks that make me laugh. Called at a school to sort out a problem with the heating. The receptionist asked me if I had been CRB checked and I said Yes. "Then you can have a red visitors pass", gave me a red visitors pass to fill in and let me in into the school with no further questions. Not that having a CRB check makes any difference, if you say you have not been CRB checked you get a blue visitors badge to fill in and then let into the school without any further questions.
I can't imagine a situation where you would, unless you have a very officious wife!
