Site Visitor assessment
Successful completion of this assessment
entitles the candidate to apply for a JIB/ECS Site Visitor Card.
You may apply to sit this assessment if the following definition
applies to you:
“Any
person employed by an electrically biased
organisation, who is not eligible for any other JIB/ECS Card but
requires regular access to construction sites, can apply for a Site
Visitor Card.” By definition, a ‘visitor’ is someone who is present
on site, but who is not engaging in (and not permitted to engage
in) a construction trade.
Before a Site Visitor Card can be
issued, the holder must demonstrate they have the required level of
health and safety awareness, either by providing evidence of a
valid exemption* or by successfully completing an ECS Health and
Safety Assessment for site visitors. The issue of a Site Visitor
Card will not remove the holder’s obligation to undergo site
induction or the need to be accompanied, as appropriate.
Anyone requiring a Site Visitor Card
should tick the box on the booking form to state clearly that a
Site Visitor assessment is required.
IMPORTANT: If you have any doubts about your eligibility or you
require further clarification of the categories, please contact the
JIB.
