Pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test

Need to pass the CITB Health, Safety and Environment test for your CSCS card? This book teaches you the rules behind the questions, then lets you practise until 45 out of 50 feels routine.

The Operatives test has 50 questions, lasts 45 minutes and needs 45 correct answers (90%). It covers five areas: working environment, occupational health, safety, high risk activities and specialist. This course is written in plain English for site workers, apprentices, labourers and anyone changing trade, including readers whose first language is not English.

What is inside:

- 15 short chapters you can read on a phone: the test format, a method for 45 out of 50, health and safety law in plain English, CDM 2015, accidents and emergencies, hazardous substances and asbestos, noise and vibration, manual handling and PPE, working at height, scaffolds and MEWPs, excavations and confined spaces, electricity, plant and lifting, and protecting the environment
- 6 appendices: the 5 mock tests, each built around a different site, and a page of key numbers, a glossary and a test-day checklist
- 500 original practice questions in 20 sets of 25, every one with the correct answer and a short explanation
- Answers and explanations for every mock test question

Every rule is tied to its source: legislation.gov.uk, the HSE, CITB and CSCS. Where a point could not be confirmed, the book tells you to check it when you book your test. The book covers Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), not Northern Ireland.

All questions are original. This is an independent study guide: it is not produced, endorsed or approved by CITB or CSCS, and it does not contain real test questions.
