What do you mean who cares, it's your responsibility to know the do's and don'ts and if you need a guy to tell you the answers you don't deserve a cscs card because the test is common-sense.

As Whitebeam says, and the guy that will care is the guy that gets hurt or killed by the idiots that don't know the first thing about site safety and what to do in an emergency, that's a very poor attitude on your part, knowing what you've picked up on these forums

I could say quite a few lippy comments to the above statement,but I will keep them to myself.

I don't hold a cscs card, if I worked on sites I'd have one no problem (when I did my HNC in Building Studies there was a half modulus in site safety, I got a distinction). When people stop caring accidents happen, accidents can ruin lives.

you can either be a follower or a leader then Ash,,get ahead of the game and learn some (at least) first aid. I've been on receiving and giving end of first aid quite a few times in my 35 year career, it's no joke that when you're young you can have a "it'll never happen to me" attitude,,accidents aren't discriminatory

 

[AliGage]

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.

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

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
