The CSCS Green Labourer card is a sign of recognition that you have the necessary knowledge and skills to work safely and responsibly on a construction site. It also shows that you have the relevant qualifications and experience to do the job.
It is not a legal requirement to hold a CSCS Green Labourer card, but most large contractors and an increasing percentage of small and medium contractors require it for due diligence. Without it, you won’t be allowed to perform work on the construction site.

Assessment and Examination
Assessment will be by an end of the course examination. The delegate must pass the exam in order to achieve certification for this course.
Examination
The question paper consists of 25 multiple-choice questions: 20 questions are worth one mark each and 5 questions are worth two marks each.
The delegates must obtain 25 marks out of 30 (83%) or more in order to pass the examination.
The examination lasts 30 minutes and must be completed within this time.
This is a closed book exam.
Examination Resits
We have a policy of NO PASS – NO RETAKE FEE, so if you do not pass there is no charge for re-takes. Our pass rate is over 95%.
If a delegate is unsuccessful in achieving 25 marks out of 30 (83%) it results in a fail.
The delegate may re-sit the multiple-choice examination free of charge.
The examination can either be retaken on the same day or the delegate can attend another course within a 90 day period (the delegate is not obliged to re-sit the day’s course).
However, when a delegate scores 18 marks out of 30 (60%) or less in the examination, the delegate must book and attend the entire HSA course again before they are allowed to re-sit the examination. The standard course fee applies.

CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E)
In addition to the above, you will need to complete a CITB Health, Safety and Environment touch screen test (known as the CSCS Test). The test takes 45 mins, it is multiple choice. With the two certificates, you can then apply for your card.
The CITB Health, safety and environment (HS&E) test is an important way for construction workers to show that they can be safe on the job. It’s also a way for them to know that their fellow workers are as safe on the site and not put them at risk of injury.
The Operatives test ensures workers have a minimum level of health, safety and environmental awareness before going on site. This test covers the five core knowledge areas.
The HS&E test is made up of 50 questions covering five core knowledge areas:
- legal and management
- health and welfare
- general safety
- high risk activities
- environment
The pass mark for the Operatives test is 90%. To pass, you need to answer at least 45 out of 50 questions correctly.
