What is the difference between a FISS CSCS card and a CSCS card?

The FISS/CSCS still meets the site requirements for a CSCS card, but is also specific for the fencing industry, meaning FISS cardholders can install supervisor and manager fence installation work.
Why do I need a FISS CSCS card or a CSCS card?
The FISS CSCS or CSCS card is now a requirement on all construction sites.
Are there different cards for different jobs?
There are five levels (colours) to the FISS CSCS and CSCS cards.
