 Under the HASAW Act you have to provide a ‘Duty of Care’ and to ensure that operatives can provide proof of competence and demonstrate experience and knowledge to carry out a task, a Photo ID CSCS Smart card is a direct but simple and very effective way to check that someone working on or testing your lightning conductor or lightning protection system can prove this, check the card matches the operative and on the rear of the card it clearly states that they are either NVQ II or NVQ III Lightning Conductor Engineers, if they cannot provide this do not let them continue until they or the company can demonstrate competency to your satisfaction, if something were to happen it may eventually come back to you and this simple but very effective measure is there to assist.

We are seeing throughout the UK at this moment that other professionals are completing two day lightning protection test and inspection courses and including this facility to their range of services, this is only one of numerous units/certificates that is required for a lightning protection engineer to gain their specialist NVQ qualification, this does not provide the operative with the experience and knowledge, it is a certificate of training. Do not accept this as proof of competence on its own, as detailed above the minimum you should be looking for is that the operative holds an in date Photo ID CSCS Smart card stating clearly on the rear that they are NVQ II or NVQ III Lightning Conductor Engineers, do not let them continue until they or the company can demonstrate competency to your satisfaction, protect yourself.
