CSCS Mock tests for operatives and specialists 2018

CSCS Site Operatives and Specialists Practice Exam

By Ryan on January 9, 2019 in Practice Exams with 17 Comments
In this CSCS mock test, we have created a test for Operatives and Specialists using a selection of questions that you will be like the ones you will be asked in your CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test to obtain your CSCS Card in 2018.

These are practice questions that will have picked from various topics, these include; Environmental awareness and waste control, Health and Welfare, Accident reporting and recording also Dust and Fumes.

If you are a site operative preparing yourself to take sit the cscs exam you will need a knowledge of health and safety within the worksite. This will include you being able to recognise and understand safety signs, able to notice unsafe and report working practices that are unsafe on a worksite and be able to look after you and other co-workers around you.

When you decide to get a green card you’ll have to first sit and pass the health and safety exam. This is a pretty straight forward test that most of you will not have a problem passing on the first attempt. A lot of people these days think the cscs exam is a bit easy and just involves common sense. While this is true for some, people that take the test with no studying and no practice or mock tests are failing the exam because they think this way. To ensure you pass the first time we recommend that you read as much as you can, and take as many mock cscs tests as you can find, so that you will pass first time with flying colours.

The cscs mock test we have created below is a practice exam for operatives aiming to take their cscs exam and get hold of that green card, anyone that is interested in passing should be ok to answer these as they about health and safety that you will need to know working on a construction site.

    Apparently I scored 5 wrong but upon reviewing my answers, only one one had been correctly marked… I should have achieved 49 out of 50 based on the answers I gave.
