In addition to the above, you will need to complete a CITB Health, Safety and Environment touch screen test (known as the CSCS Test). The test takes 45 mins, it is multiple choice. With the two certificates, you can then apply for your card.

The CITB Health, safety and environment (HS&E) test is an important way for construction workers to show that they can be safe on the job. It’s also a way for them to know that their fellow workers are as safe on the site and not put them at risk of injury.

The Operatives test ensures workers have a minimum level of health, safety and environmental awareness before going on site. This test covers the five core knowledge areas.

The HS&E test is made up of 50 questions covering five core knowledge areas:

legal and management
health and welfare
general safety
high risk activities
environment

The pass mark for the Operatives test is 90%. To pass, you need to answer at least 45 out of 50 questions correctly.

You can book and pay for the test online (External link – Opens in a new tab or window) or over the phone.
