It is mandatory that anyone applying for a CSCS Card takes the relevant CITB Health, Safety and Environment test. The CITB test for Operatives consists of 50 multiple choice questions, formulated to test your knowledge on foundational topics of health, safety and construction environment.

Tests are only carried out at CITB’s approved test centres, and a score of at least 90% is required to pass. This means you would need to answer 45 of the questions correctly. Statistically, most candidates who fail the CITB test did not prepare in advance by revising the material. It is very important to study in advance of your CITB test.
