The CITB Health and Safety Test aims to increase your awareness of health, safety and environmental issues. The test is required for CPCS, NPORS, and CSCS Cards.
Each test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions and lasts up to 45 minutes. There are different tests to meet the needs of different trades and professions.
You can book a CITB Health and Safety Test at our Wokingham Centre but make sure you choose the right one and prepare for the test. Each test costs £60+VAT.
Health and safety is relevant to all businesses, particularly those in the construction-industry. If you are an employer or self-employed, you are responsible for the health, safety and welfare of yourself and others around you. This includes employees, casual or part time workers, trainees, customers and members of the public.
Our CSCS Green Card Course is an entry-level qualification designed to give individuals, such as labourers, basic awareness of health and safety in a construction environment.
Health and Safety Awareness Courses are wide ranging and help keep you safe on site. The Health and Safety Awareness Courses can be used in combination with the HSE Labourers Test for a Green Labourers Card. HSE Operatives Test can be used in conjunction with technical tests for Red Plant Operator Cards and there are many more card combinations out there.
We can help you gain a range of CSCS card types. Check out our range of NVQ courses or contact us for further information.
All workers have a right to work in places where risks to their health and safety are properly controlled. Health and safety is about stopping you getting hurt at work or ill through work. Your employer is responsible for health and safety, but you must help.
You can get advice on fire safety from the Fire and Rescue Services or your workplace fire officer.
