Safe Pass study plan

Define the employer's and the worker's duties under construction site health and safety rules in your own words, listing at least six duties for each side.

Identify the five most common causes of fatal and serious injuries in construction and rank them by frequency, with one prevention measure per cause.

Explain how a site induction, a risk assessment and a method statement fit together, and state who prepares and who signs each one.

Walk a real or simulated site layout and mark on a sketch at least eight hazard zones, including excavation edges, plant routes and overhead work areas.

Describe the hierarchy of control and apply it to three construction tasks, showing why elimination and engineering controls come before PPE.

Outline the key requirements for working at height, including edge protection, guardrail heights, ladder use ratios and rescue arrangements.

Summarise the rules for excavations and confined spaces, covering support, access, atmospheric testing and permit-to-work triggers.

Explain how welfare facilities, noise, dust and manual handling duties apply across a normal site day.

Name each item of personal protective equipment required on a general construction site and state what hazard it controls and its limits.

Match helmet, eye, hearing, respiratory, hand and foot protection classes to the tasks that require them.

Demonstrate correct fitting, inspection and storage routines for a helmet, harness and respirator, noting rejection criteria.

Explain the limits of PPE as a control and list three situations where PPE alone is not acceptable.

Identify the main physical, chemical, biological and ergonomic hazards on a construction site and give one control per hazard.

Describe how silica dust, asbestos, lead and solvent vapour exposures are recognised and controlled, including when to stop work.

Explain the principles of safe manual handling and describe three lifting aids that reduce injury risk.

Interpret a safety data sheet and extract the hazard statements, exposure limits and first-aid measures from it.

State the pre-use inspection and defect-reporting routine for hand and power tools, and list five defects that require immediate withdrawal.

Describe the safe use of abrasive wheels, cartridge tools and rotating equipment, including guarding and exclusion zones.

Explain the selection, inspection and safe use of access equipment such as ladders, tower scaffolds and mobile elevating work platforms.

Summarise the duties of a plant operator and a pedestrian, including segregation, visibility, reversing and signaller use.

Explain the principles of safe lifting operations, including lift plans, competent persons, load charts and exclusion zones.

Describe the requirements for electrical safety on site, covering isolation, portable equipment testing, cable protection and overhead lines.

Outline the safe use of hazardous substances and the control of fumes, dust and fire risk from hot works.

Apply a permit-to-work system to one high-risk task and list the conditions for closing it out.

Explain what must be reported as an accident, near miss or dangerous occurrence, and who reports it and to whom.

Describe the purpose of accident investigation and list the information to gather at the scene in the first hour.

Outline the emergency procedure for fire, medical emergency, gas leak and structural collapse, including alarm, evacuation and roll call.

State the role of first aiders, fire marshals and the emergency services liaison on a construction site.

Complete two full timed mock exams under test conditions and record the score for each domain.

Review every incorrect answer, classify the error as knowledge, misreading or guesswork, and write the correct fact.

Revisit the two weakest domains with a targeted one-hour revision session each.

Recite the emergency sequence and the reporting chain from memory without notes.
