CSCS Test Questions Health and Welfare

By

This CSCS Card practice test on health and welfare includes 50 multiple‑choice questions designed to test your understanding of core occupational health topics that appear in the real 2026 CSCS exam.

This mock exam covers areas such as stress, fatigue, mental health, hygiene, and recognising common workplace health risks.

Each question mirrors genuine site scenarios, helping you practice the exact style of health and welfare questions you’ll face in the official CSCS test. Most questions require a single answer, but some may ask you to select two or more correct options.

For multi‑answer questions, you must select all correct answers to get full marks; partial answers will be marked incorrect. The pass mark is 90%; that’s 45 out of 50.
