Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) CSCS Operatives Touchscreen Test
This test can be taken after you pass the HAS course
The Operatives test ensures workers have a minimum level of health, safety and environmental awareness before going on site. To apply for a CSCS Labourers Green card, delegates will need to successfully complete both the Operatives HS&E test and the Site Safety Plus Health & Safety Awareness course, holding both valid certificates. CSCS cards provide evidence that individuals working on construction sites have the appropriate training and qualifications for the job they do on site, and contractors or clients in the UK require workers to hold a card before they are granted access to a site.
Certification
The multiple-choice question paper consists of 25 multiple-choice questions: 20 questions are worth one mark each and 5 questions are worth two marks each.
The delegates must obtain 25 marks out of 30 (83%) or more in order to pass the examination.
The examination lasts 30 minutes and must be completed within this time. This is a closed book exam.
Delegates successfully completing the course will receive a CITB Health & Safety Awareness certificate valid for five years.
Please note, CITB no longer produce physical certificates, all certificates are produced digitally and sent to the booker of the course within 28 working days of the end of the course
Virtual Classrooms
