CITB Health, Safety and Environment Touchscreen Tests
Quinn's Training Services have partnered with the Independent Training and Testing Company - a CITB Internet Test Centre- to offer our customers the three CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) Touchscreen Tests for either Operatives, Managers and Professionals (MAP) or Specialists.
Description
The CITB HS&E touchscreen test is an important way for construction workers to show they can work safely. For employers, having workers who have passed the CITB HS&E test is assurance that their workforce can keep themselves and those around them safe.
We offer the three separate CITB tests, each of which covers a different level of health and safety knowledge and awareness. Each test is also required when applying for the following CSCS cards:
- Operative-Labourer card, Trainee card, Apprentice card, most Blue Skilled Worker cards and most Gold Advanced Craft cards.
- Specialist- Gold Supervisor card, as well as a Blue Skilled Worker card and a Gold Advanced Craft card in certain occupations.
- Managers and Professionals (MAP) - Black Managers card, and the Academically or Professionally Qualified person cards.

The Operative and Specialist tests cover the following five core knowledge areas:
- Working environment
- Occupational health
- Safety
- High risk activities
- Specialist
The CITB HS&E Specialist test also includes relevant questions in the chosen specialist areas. The specialist tests can be taken in the following topics:
- supervisory (SUP)
