What this means
The HS&E test is a safety exam that checks if you understand how to work safely on construction sites.
Validity rule
Your test must be passed within the last 2 years.
If you have not passed the test yet, you cannot complete the CSCS card application.
You must first book and pass the CITB test.
What Is a CSCS Card?
The CSCS card is a physical identification card issued in the UK construction industry.
It confirms:
• Your identity
• Your qualification level

Site managers and contractors use this card to decide whether a worker is allowed to enter a construction site.
Without the card, many employers will refuse site access.
