See you in four years!

There was joy and sadness on Sunday evening as the closing cermony of the Paralympics ended.

If you have been under a rock for the last couple of weeks, you may not be aware team GB won 12% of the total number of gold medals available – the best since way back in 1968! Finishing second in the medal table behind China, GB set 49 Paralympic and 27 world records. Both the oldest (Anne Dunham) and youngest (Abby Kane) competitors on the team claimed medals, and 11 sports won gold medals with a record-equalling 15 securing at least one medal.

You can view the full medal table here.

So Well Done team GB! Now the challenge will be to maintain momentum and rise to the occasion once again in 2020!

A two-day celebration of the UK’s achievements at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio is to start with a homecoming parade for the athletes in Manchester on 17 October, with more festivities in London the following day.

CSCS News
From 1 August 2016 the following changes to Trainee cards will be introduced:
• Only one Trainee card (irrespective of occupation) will be available
• The card will be red in colour and clearly marked “Trainee”
• The occupation will not be displayed on the reverse of the card. It will simply say Trainee
• The card will be valid for 5 years and will be non-renewable
• Prior to applying for a card an applicant must register for a CSCS recognised construction related qualification
• SSSTS, SMSTS and NEBOSH General will not be accepted as routes to a Trainee card
• Applicants for a Trainee Card must have completed the appropriate CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test within the last 2 years.
• Applicants must complete their qualification before the Trainee card expires
• On completion of their qualification applicants can move onto a skilled CSCS card

MECsafe offer Health & Safety Awareness courses and CSCS tests on the same day (at the same training centre), which is handy if you need to apply for a “Labourers” CSCS card! (We can even apply for your card for you)! You can find out further information here.
