Manual handling: why and how it is important to handle all loads using a safe system of work. What key areas you need to be aware of when handling loads.
Section C: Safety
Safety signs: what types of safety sign you will see on a construction site, and what they are informing you of.
Fire prevention and control:
what you should do if you discover a fire, and which fire extinguishers should be used on what type of fire.
Electrical safety, tools and equipment: how to work safely with different types of tools, and what you should do if the tools you are using have not been examined or are faulty.
Section D:
High risk activities
Site transport safety and lifting operations: how careful planning can safely segregate pedestrian and traffic routes. Traffic rules you need to be aware of. How to lift loads safely.
Working at height:
what types of equipment you will use for working at height, and how to use them correctly.
Excavations and confined spaces:
how to work safely in a confined space or excavation, and what you should do if exposed to certain hazards.
Hazardous substances:
how you can identify a hazardous substance, and what control measures should be in place to enable you to work safely.
Section E: Specialist
If you are preparing for a specialist test you will also be asked questions about your specialist activity. There are currently 12 specialist tests available, including supervisory; demolition; highway works; specialist work at height; lifts and escalators; tunnelling; plumbing (JIB); heating and plumbing services; pipefitting and welding; ductwork; refrigeration and air conditioning; services and facilities maintenance.
What is a knowledge question?
The knowledge questions cover 16 core areas (presented in sections A-D of the question book) that are included in all the tests. These questions are factual. For example, they will ask you to identify fire extinguishers and signs. There is an additional knowledge question bank for each specialist test.
You do not need to have a detailed knowledge of the exact content of any regulations. However, you do need to show that you know what is required of you, the things you must do (or not do), and what to do in certain circumstances (for example, upon discovering an accident).
Legislation in Northern Ireland and Scotland differs from that in the rest of the UK. For practical reasons, all candidates (including those in Northern Ireland and Scotland) will be tested on questions using legislation relevant to the remainder of the UK only.
There are four different styles of knowledge question that may be presented within your test. These are explained below.

Are working on ladders allowed on site

Contact CSCS directly and they will help you
I cannot select multiple answers. The form should be using checkboxes.
-EDIT- I found a question that uses checkboxes so the problem is with this question:
“10. Before you can operate a plant on site you must be ___. (Choose 2 answers)”
Sorted that issue
This test is seriously flawed and needs to be rectified. Foam extinguishers should NOT be used on fuel based fires as they can potentially spread the fire, C02 or powder extinguishers should be used instead. also Triangular signs mean hazard not prohibition, prohibition signs are circular.
Rectified, thanks for bringing to our attention.
The answer to Question 42 is wrong. The correction answer is Hazard and you’ve put it as prohibition.
That has been rectified, thanks for bringing to our attention
How can I check which questions I got wrong
It will show you at the end of the test below. And also you will receive and email with your results.
