HSE card order – How to get an HSE card easily and quickly

HSE Card – What Is It and How Do You Order It?

On Norwegian construction and building sites, the HSE card—often called the Construction ID—is a mandatory tool for ensuring safety, transparency, and professionalism. This card is not just a form of identification, but an important part of systematic HSE work. But what exactly is an HSE card, who needs it, and how do you go about ordering one? This guide provides all the information you need.

What is an HSE card (Construction ID)?

An HSE card is a personal ID card that includes a photo, name, date of birth, employer’s name, and organization number. It is equipped with a chip that can be read electronically and is intended to provide a quick and easy overview of who is on the construction site. The purpose of the HSE card is to:

  • Ensure that everyone working on the construction site is registered and identifiable.
  • Promote professionalism and combat illegal employment in the industry.
  • Help create a safer work environment by providing a better overview of who is present.
  • Prevent accidents and ensure rapid identification in the event of an incident.

Who Needs an HSE Card? Legal Requirements and Industry Practices

The requirement for an HSE card is mandated by law under the Regulation on Identification Cards at Construction and Building Sites. This regulation applies to:

  • Anyone who performs work at construction and building sites.
  • Regardless of whether they are employees, temporary workers, or self-employed individuals.
  • Applies to both private and public projects.

It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that all employees who are to work at a construction or building site have a valid HSE card. If you are self-employed, you are responsible for obtaining the card yourself.

How to Order an HSE Card: A Step-by-Step Guide

The ordering process for HMS cards is standardized, but may seem a bit complex. Komplett HMS AS makes the process easy for you. Here are the general steps:

  1. Registration in the Register of Legal Entities: Your business must be registered in the Brønnøysund Register of Business Entities.
  2. Valid identification: Everyone who is to receive a card must have valid identification (passport or national ID card).
  3. Digital photo: A recent digital photo of the person who will hold the card.
  4. Ordering through an approved supplier: HSE cards must be ordered through an approved supplier. Komplett HMS AS is one such supplier.

We’ll guide you through the entire process and make sure all the necessary documents are in order. With our HSE card service, you can quickly and easily order cards for your employees so you’re ready to start work on the construction site.

Validity and Renewal of the HSE Card

An HSE card is valid for 2 years from the date of issue. It is important to note that the card is tied to the employment relationship. If an employee leaves the company, the card must be returned to the employer. If the employee changes employers, a new HSE card must be ordered.

Before your card expires, be sure to request a renewal. We recommend starting the process well in advance to avoid a situation where employees are left without a valid card and are therefore unable to work on the construction site.

How much does an HSE card cost?

The price of an HSE card varies somewhat among different providers. It is an investment in safety and legal compliance. Komplett HMS AS offers competitive prices and an efficient ordering process, ensuring you get the most value for your money.

Consequences of Not Having an HSE Card

Failure to have an HSE card can have serious consequences:

  • Expulsion: Workers without a valid HSE card may be removed from the construction site.
  • Fines: Employers may be fined by the Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority for failing to provide HSE cards.
  • Work stoppage: In serious cases, the Labor Inspection Authority may halt work at the construction site.

It is therefore essential to have this in place before work begins.
