Can I aqcuire a cpcs license with monocular vision?

Question

I lost one of my eyes at birth leaving me with monocular vision. I would like to know if I would be allowed to drive any type of plant on construction sites? i want to gain a cpcs license and I'm worried that I won't be allowed to for health and safety reasons. My vision has never been an issue for me.

Answer 1

Your vision impediment should not be cause for disqualification for Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS). There are a lot of specific licenses, for various jobs. Your specific job may not have specific depth perception needs. I would be concerned about crane operator, forklift, and a few others where knowing how close you are may present an issue for you to do the job well.



You should ask your question on their site - http://www.citb.co.uk/Cards-testing/Construction-Plant-Competence-Scheme-CPCS/Contact-CPCS/
