Certain occupations, for example fence erector, asphalt layers and surface dressers do not require a CPCS card as the plant element is included in the CSCS card as part of the NVQ qualification.
CPCS is an amalgamation of the CTA Scheme, the National Plant Operators Registration Scheme (NPORS) and Lantra.
Operators who need to drive categories of plant on the public highway must possess the appropriate driving licence.
