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.
