| Why do i need to take the test ?
Why do I need to take the test? As legislation and regulation within the industry increases, employers and their clients are demanding a means of ensuring that workers have adequate knowledge of safe working practice. The CITB Health and Safety test was created to prove that an individual has reached a minimum standard of health and safety awareness. The test consists of 35 random multiple choice questions (40 in some cases - depending upon the category of test undertaken) taken from a substantial list relating to all aspects of health and safety in construction. The test must be passed in order to qualify for most major registration schemes (including CSCS, CTA and CISRS) and more card schemes are adopting it all the time. Where can I take the Construction Health and Safety Test test? The test is available at Normandie Health & Safety Limited. Normandie House is open Monday to Friday 0900 - 1700. How do I book the test? 1. Make sure you have your registration number to hand, or you will not be able to book your test. If you are unsure of your registration number or if you are a new applicant, please call the Health and Safety test helpdesk on 01485 577885. (New applicants will need to provide their full name, address and postcode, date of birth and National Insurance number to be able to register). 2. Call the appropriate number: Fixed Test Centre - 01481 253953. If you have special requirements for taking the test, such as any reading difficulties or preferring to take the test in a language other than English, please advise us at the time of booking. A confirmation letter and the Health and Safety Test Question Book will be sent to you. The book contains all the possible questions you may be given in your test and acts as a great revision and reference tool It is imperative that you check the details in the confirmation letter as soon as it arrives, and follow any instructions it gives regarding the test. What can i do to prepare for the test ?

The test is taken over the internet by sitting in front of a computer monitor and using a mouse to click on the screen to indicate your answer for each question. No specific computer skills are required and a practice session is available to guide you through the process before the test begins. You will be given a maximum of 40 minutes to answer the 35 questions (or 45 minutes to answer the 40 questions, depending on the category of test undertaken), although most candidates complete the test well within this time. For candidates who are dyslexic or have other reading difficulties, a voice over will operate so that you can hear the test read out through headphones (this will be offered to all candidates at the time of booking). At the end of the test, you will be given a print out of the results and guidance on any follow up action you should take. Dates: Arranged on application.
