ECS Revision

The ECS Revision is made up of 50 multiple choice questions drawn randomly from the question bank to be completed in 30 minutes. Each question will require one correct answer to be picked from a choice of four.

The assessment will be made up from questions covering eleven topics. The numbers of questions that will be used from each topic are:

- General Health and Safety at Work - 6

- Manual Handling Operations - 4

- Reporting Accidents - 3

- Personal Protective Equipment at Work - 4

- Health and Hygiene - 3

- Fire and Emergency - 9

- Work at Height - 5

- Work Equipment - 4

- Special Site Hazards - 3

- Electrotechnical - 6

- Environmental - 3

To successfully pass an assessment, 43 out of the 50 questions must be answered correctly.

If the delegate is unsuccessful they may take a new assessment. A fee is chargeable by the assessment organisation for each assessment taken by the delegate.

Preparation

This guide should be used to help prepare for the assessment.

The guide contains all the questions that can be used to make up the awareness assessment, together with the correct answer and, where applicable, a brief explanation of the answer.

The assessment uses a selection of the questions from the question bank printed in this guide, however, the four answers in the assessment may be in a different order from the order shown in this guide.

There are no questions in the assessment that are not in this guide. The assessment is designed to test basic knowledge and awareness of health and safety for people working in the electrical industry and on construction sites. The awareness assessment is not trying to trip up or catch people out, all the questions in the assessment are listed in this guide.

The ECS Revision may be used as the end of course test for health and safety training but in no way should not be considered a qualification in Health and Safety.
