What Is the CITB Health Safety and Environment Test?

The CITB Health Safety and Environment test checks your understanding of health, safety and environmental issues in construction. It is a computer-based test, often referred to as the touch screen test or CSCS test.

Passing the test is one part of the requirements for many construction card applications. Your chosen card may also require a relevant qualification or other evidence. Passing the test alone does not automatically give you a CSCS card.

CITB Test FAQs

Is the CITB Test the Same as a Health and Safety Awareness Course?

No. The HS&E test is an assessment. A Health and Safety Awareness course is a separate course or qualification route. Check the requirements for your intended card to see whether you need both.

Can I Take the CITB Test for an NPORS Card?

The NPORS CSCS card route accepts an appropriate CITB HS&E test passed within the two years before application. Tell us which NPORS card and machine category you need so the test can be checked before booking.

Do I Receive a CSCS Card After Passing?

Your test result is separate from your card application. You must apply through the relevant card scheme and meet its qualification and evidence requirements. Keep your score report for the application.
