Jesus Ash, Health and Safety doesn't just consist if the questions you had on your exam.
Still your responsibility to know the answers to all the other possible questions.

Who learned cpr at cscs card test cuz i certainly didnt mate. Im all for learning health and safety guys i am all for it. Hardly any of the questions in my cscs test related to health and safety it was stuff inwould never come accross

How can you be all for it when people you are potentially working alongside are unsafe and a danger to YOU?

You say above "fairplay to the bloke for helping people out getting work", just cast your memory back a year. Do you remember when you couldn't get any work and no one was willing to give you a chance to train? Did you say you worked 1 month out of the year was it? Just have a guess at one of the reasons for that Ash. CSCS cards where designed not only to make site safety better but also to try and stop unskilled labour on to sites, not least when years back we had a massive influx of cheap foreign labour. So all that struggle you went through and yet a foreigner can leap frog you and take a potential job because he has a bit of spare cash. It gets worse because some of these test centers aren't just handing out basic cards but give them enough money and they will give you a skilled card and even supervisor cards. Yeah fair play to the bloke

I think mines running out in jannuary.As i dont do site work anymore I cant see me renewing this time

Worth renewing regardless imho

 

[Mr Tiler]

Sorry guys i didnt realise the cscs was such a big deal, shouldnt it be more in depth in the aspect of health and safety though? When i took the test a couple of years ago the only real safety questions i can remember was which fire extinguisher to use in an emergancy for what sort of fire, all the others seemed irrelevant

It's all health and safety based, whether you realise it or not !

Honestly,if anyone needs a hand doing a basic health and safety you HAVE got to be worried.
I reapplied for my CSCS card last November after letting it lapse for about 5yrs,
I read the book ,(it's not that hard is it?,for christ sake they even give you the answers underneath the questions.) took the test and away you go!

Poor old mr tiler lands himself in it again.naivety on his part. Dont forget that your a debutant in the tilingworld.well loved here on the forum and well earned the hard way.but leave the advice to the professionals because your still learning yourself.in my opinion your a tiler after 5 or 6 years of work and we never stop learning.

Worth renewing regardless imho
