Explain how the proposed action controls the hazard

For health and safety questions, identify who could be harmed, how exposure could happen and what action addresses it. A familiar item of PPE does not answer every risk-control question. Read the work conditions and the limits of your role before choosing the next step.

Try the free plumbing health and safety questions after a topic, and the free site-safety questions for further scenarios. The plumbing CSCS card guide helps distinguish general safety revision from the test and evidence required for a particular card.

CSCS cards for plumbers: JIB-PMES, qualifications and tests

Choose the card for your occupation and training stage. Plumbing roles may use a JIB-PMES or SNIJIB card carrying the CSCS logo. The site decides its entry requirements; a health-and-safety test pass alone does not establish eligibility for every card.
