CSCS Health, Safety & Environment Test Revision

Need your green CSCS card, but worried about passing the Health, Safety & Environment test?

You need 45 out of 50 to pass. The official question bank is secret, so the questions on test day will not match any book or app word for word. This book teaches you to understand each rule, so you can answer whatever version of a question appears on the day.

WHY THIS BOOK IS DIFFERENT

Many revision books are just long lists of questions. Some come without the answers, and many feel dull, out of date or hard to follow. This book was written to fix that.

• 500+ original practice questions, every one with a short "why" explanation
• 3 full mock tests (50 questions, 45 minutes), just like the real test
• 30 "What would you do?" site scenarios for the behavioural questions mixed into the real test
• A plain-English "Know It" page before every topic, plus "Remember" boxes and common test traps

EASY TO READ, EVEN IF ENGLISH ISN'T YOUR FIRST LANGUAGE

Short sentences, sight words explained the first time they appear, and a glossary of 114 site words. The book also explains how to ask for a voiceover on test day.

KNOW EXACTLY WHERE TO START

Take the 20-question Diagnostic Test, then follow the 14-day fast-track plan or the 30-day plan (just 20-30 minutes a day). Score bands after each mock test tell you when you're ready to book.

EVERY TOPIC THE OPERATIVES TEST COVERS

18 chapters across 6 parts:

Working environment: legal duties, site rules, accidents, first aid, welfare

FROM BOOKING TO CARD

Clear guidance on booking the test with CITB, the real fees (and the websites that charge over £60 for a card), what ID to bring, which CSCS card to apply for, and what to do after you pass. Also included: a test-day checklist, quick-reference cards and a revision record.

PERFECT FOR
