Free CSCS mock test

Here are 20 free questions we wrote on construction health and safety, with an explanation for every answer. They don’t come from the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), which runs the health, safety and environment (HS&E) test that the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) asks for. Use this CSCS mock test to see where your knowledge is thin before you revise.

Practice questions

Question 1 of 20

Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, who must take reasonable care of their own health and safety and that of others affected by their work?

20 practice questions we wrote ourselves, on construction health and safety.

How is this CSCS mock test different from the real one?

The real test has 50 questions and some come in other styles, with images or drag and drop. Ours are 20 plain multiple choice questions on settled UK law, five in each of four of the Operatives test’s core areas.

For the real content, use CITB’s own revision material. The study options page explains which edition counts. If an explanation here doesn’t click, ask the tutor to explain it another way.

Mock tests for the other versions

Our questions are on the core areas every version shares. The Managers and Professionals (MAP) and Specialist pages say what CITB offers to practise for those versions.
