CSCS card help

[leeham987]

Just wondered if anyone could help me

Im after a CSCS card for basic labouring jobs, which type of card would i need? theres that many types.

Also, can anyone recommend some revision notes? As im going to revise at home then put in for the test.

cheers

Need to know most site safety rules, test is piss easy, most of it is common sense

You DO need to know stuff though

Cheers mate. My dads health and safety officer for rotherham council, so i know a fair bit about health and safety haha.

Unemployed at moment, applying for anything and everything, but lack of CSCS card is letting me down on labouring jobs etc.

Very easy to pass, good luck

Mostly common sense but you need to know about site safety, what diff coloured fire extinguishers mean and are used for etc

Water and electrical safety etc

Stuff like using air powered tools in wet trenches and shit like that

For Revision notes pm me your email address mate. I did mine last week do have most of the 'official' book scanned in sections. Think there is a section missing as I only took tw yellow card for site visitors, but I might be able to get the missing one as well.

Green one called "site operative" only cost something like £20 iirc. Piss easy to test.....there were fucking foreigners who barely speak a word of english walking out the door with a pass when i did mine.

Just spotted this. Get on the website for a look at what card you need.

Its pretty cheap so even if you spend £10 on a test cd from ebay you can practice at home for a small price.

I did my black managers card not long back and it was piss easy! Just 50 questions instead of 40?

Extinguishers and basic knowledge is all you need. When you read the questions 90% of them 2 answers are obviously bollocks and the other two will be worded slightly different so read carefully

I was looking at this the other day do you just need to pas the health and safety test then You've got one? Saw on the application form something about employer signing to say you have basic compatancey?

Took this two years ago, because my company was going into the construction (into live building sites) side of pipework.

Pretty simple straight forward test, basically just common sense.

Stu there should be a test centre in Edinburgh, but if there isn't the one in glasgow is beside the Skypark (beside SECC)

Basically yeah

They just sign for you and you have to be registered with cscs iirc, so you can still work but haven't got the card, think they put a number against your name

Along the lines of.. Your registered to sit the test but haven't actually sat it yet

Think I worked on sites for 3+ years before I took the test
