About this mock

Difficulty: Intermediate

CSCS Operative Mock 21 gives candidates a direct check on working around plant in site safety situations. The working around plant questions move between basic site behaviour, worker responsibilities and safe access, which reduces guesswork. That gives working around plant a practical next step. During CSCS Operative Mock 21, treat working around plant as the key checkpoint.

Topics included

  • Working around plant
  • Basic site behaviour
  • Worker responsibilities
  • Safe access
  • Applied scenario review 21

Common mistakes in this mock

  • Choosing the fastest answer instead of the safest one
  • Missing the clue about worker responsibilities during manual handling without route planning
  • Choosing speed before PPE choices
  • Answering before checking dust spreading beyond the work face

Who this mock is for

Revisers who missed questions around working around plant and want a focused checkpoint.
