Though the construction industry has seen its fatalities and accident figures lessen significantly over the last couple of decades, the number of construction-related injuries, accidents and deaths still continues to be a huge cause for concern.

The Health, Safety and Environment test, more commonly known as the Construction CITB CSCS Test, is designed to give individuals working in the construction industry the required knowledge so that they can identify hazards on-site and confidently take steps to prevent dangerous incidents from taking place. It ensures a minimum level of health, safety and environmental awareness is met by workers before going on site.

The test has different levels which fit the various jobs and roles on site. For example, labourers such as carpenters and bricklayers need to pass the CSCS Test for Operatives while Quantity Surveyors or Architects need to take and pass the CSCS Test for Managers and Professionals.

The CSCS TEST will contain questions from five key sections containing 16 categories in total, which you will need to have knowledge of:

Section A: Working environment
Section B: Occupational health
Section C: Safety
Section D: High-risk activities
Section E: Specialist activities

The Construction Test consists of 50 knowledge questions and has a duration of 45 minutes.
These 50 knowledge questions are selected from four key sections (labelled as A to D) containing 16 categories in total. These are listed above.
