When a card is scanned, information is shared using an API (application programming interface). This can be accessed via the website and app, along with on site access systems and induction platforms built by approved IT partners or employers.
A new API adds more data. This comprises GPS coordinates showing where the card was checked; a site ID or name: and a reason for the scan, indicating whether the check was a pre-induction, induction, re-induction, routine check, site entry, or other purpose.
The upgrde aims to ensure compliance with the Building Safety Act, and to better inform industry workforce planning. Combined with the CSCS Alliance's Workforce Insights鈥攚hich offers anonymised, data-driven intelligence from more than 2.3 million cardholders across 37 schemes鈥擲mart Check is now able to provide an enhanced on-the-ground geographic illustration of skills and occupational volumes.
CSCS is already informing the data and intelligence work of the 萝莉原创 Skills Mission Board (CSMB) via a newly established data working group and will be at UKREiiF from 19-21st May to outline its digital infrastructure capabilities to contractors and local authorities.
