CSCS Questions and Answers Book – Operatives and Specialists

When you’re revising for your CSCS or equivalent exam, it’s not only important to be aware of the content of the course, but how your knowledge of it is going to be examined. For this purpose, CITB Construction Skills’ have published this CSCS revision book, containing over 400 questions covering every topic which the exam could test you on.

Why is a safety qualification important?

When working in the types of conditions encountered on a construction site, both employers and operatives need to be aware of the restrictions, requirements and expectations placed upon them.

As a CSCS card holder, your qualification will enable you to demonstrate an ability to recognise workplace safety, health and environmental hazards and how to deal with them, as well as any potential legal ramifications involved.

Your employer will be safe in the knowledge that you are aware of site protocol and safety procedures, whilst you will be safe in the knowledge that you can recognise any potential breaches in health and safety regulations and neutralize them, resulting in a safer workplace for you and other operatives. Start practicing for your test with the official CSCS test questions and answers book, get it now.

What is the purpose of the CSCS revision book?

The CSCS test book is a collection of commonly asked test questions, organised by topic and matching the structure used by the CSCS test. It also contains the answers so that when you have tested yourself you can see where you went wrong, enabling you to improve.

The book also prepares you for behavioural case study questions, including a transcript of the film ‘Setting out’, helping you to gain a thorough understanding of the film before your test. It is also intended to cover test content for specialists in a variety of roles.
