Working Safely on a Construction Site

Working safely on site: signs, fire, permits and reporting

Reading sign shapes, the fire triangle, permits to work, and what has to be reported and to whom.

Site Hazards, PPE and Working at Height

Lesson

PPE and the hazard each item is chosen for

Why PPE is the last line of defence, and which hazard each item actually protects against.

Practise site-safety judgement and check your card route

Use a site-safety scenario to identify the hazard and choose an action that controls it. Read who is carrying out the task, what equipment is involved and whether the situation needs escalation. General safety knowledge applies across many tasks, but card requirements depend on the route.

Start the free site-safety practice set, then use the CSCS card guide to check the distinction between revision questions and the test required for your intended occupation. Confirm the actual test and card requirements before booking.
