What is the CISRS Scaffolding Card?

The CISRS (Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme) Card confirms that a scaffolder has completed the required training and assessment to work safely on scaffolding structures across UK construction sites.

The Health, Safety & Environment exam contains 50 multiple-choice questions. You must score at least 45 out of 50 to pass.

The test lasts 45 minutes and is taken at an approved Pearson VUE test centre.

What topics are covered in the scaffolding specialist test?

Topics include working at height, scaffold inspections, load limits, guardrails, toe boards, scaffold ties, access systems, fall protection, PPE requirements and permit-to-work systems.

How often must scaffolding be inspected?

Scaffolding must be inspected before first use, after any alteration, and at least every 7 days while in place.

What happens if I fail the CISRS Health & Safety test?

You can retake the test after 48 hours. It is recommended to revise thoroughly before rebooking to avoid repeated failure.

Is this mock test the same as the real CISRS exam?

This mock test is designed to reflect the structure and style of the real exam but is provided for revision purposes only.
