INTRODUCTION

The electrotechnical industry is constantly striving to improve the Health and Safety awareness of everyone who works

within the industry. The affiliation of the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) to the Construction Skills

Certification Scheme (CSCS) requires anyone obtaining or renewing an ECS Identification Card to demonstrate an

acceptable standard of health and safety knowledge.

The ECS Health and Safety Assessment has been introduced as the method of assessing the health and safety

knowledge of people working in the electrotechnical industry. Passing the assessment will demonstrate that you have a

satisfactory level of health and safety knowledge.

This booklet should be used as a tool to help you prepare for the assessment. The booklet contains all the questions

that can be used to make up your assessment, together with the correct answer and, where applicable, a brief

explanation of the answer. The order of answers shown in the booklet may not be the same as the order used when

preparing individual assessments. Read through the booklet and attempt some of the questions from each topic so you

can improve your knowledge before attending the assessment. Remember, there are no trick questions and we are not

trying to trip you up.

The ECS Health and Safety Assessment contains a number of multiple choice questions. Each question will require you

to pick one correct answer from a choice of four.

If you are employed by one of the many companies that have become licensed assessment centres you will

take the assessment on a Personal Computer. If your assessment is provided by the Electrical Contractors’

Association (ECA), or you undertake the assessment in Scotland, it will be paper-based. Please ensure you

take some form of identification with you. A current or expired ECS card, passport, new style driving

license etc. You will also need to know your National Insurance Number.

An invigilator will explain how to undertake the assessment and you will be given a chance to take a practice test before

you start. The invigilator will be on hand during the assessment to provide help and guidance with the computer program

but will not offer any assistance with answering the questions. At the end of the assessment the computer program will

let you know if you have passed. You will be able to see which questions you got wrong so that you can study the

subject area before attempting the assessment again.

The assessment will be made up from questions covering ten topics. The numbers of questions that will be used from

each topic are:
