The Construction Industry Trading Board (CITB) and the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) have announced a new industry-wide survey to assess card scheme fraud and card checking procedures on UK construction sites.

The production of fake cards across the industry was recently highlighted by the National Crime Agency’s prosecution of an organised gang dealing in false identity documentation.

The survey will focus on:

• Getting a better understanding of the problems caused by fraudulent cards

• How card checks are carried out on site and what information is verified

• Whether smart technology could be better employed to help tackle card fraud

Anyone who works in construction is invited to take part in the survey, which can be found here.

The survey will close on 31 March 2015.
