TESTING CENTRE VIDEO

CSCS is the leading skills certification scheme within the UK construction industry. CSCS cards provide proof that individuals working on construction sites have the appropriate training and qualifications for the job they do on site. 

The Health, Safety and Environment test, more commonly known as the CSCS test, ensures a minimum level of health, safety and environmental awareness are met by workers. Most principal contractors and major house builders require construction workers on their sites to take this test and hold a valid CSCS card before they are allowed on site.

  • Level 1 Health and Safety in a Construction Environment qualification
