The ConstructSafe Tier 2 assessment for Registered electricians is a great way to demonstrate health and safety knowledge as part of your overall competency.
The assessment has been developed with ETCO, and recognised electrical companies.
There is a theory assessment, this will take no longer than one hour to complete.
You will be asked 60 multiple choice questions, from which, you need to achieve a score of 85% or over to pass.
The test covers 7 knowledge areas including, planning, pre-start, moving equipment and materials to work, site work, specialist skills, close down, and hand over.
As a field expert, this assessment is a quick and simple way to prove that you are a safe operator.
You won't need to repeat the theory assessment unless there is a substantive change in the risks associated with the work you do. This is decided independently by a representative group from Master Electricians.
ConstructSafe enables businesses to easily prove the competency of their field experts to a comparable standard as other companies.
Firstly, you need to hold the ConstructSafe Tier 1 competency. This proves that you know the basics of site safety, whilst Tier 2 is about the specifics of your trade.
The assessment is touch screen and interactive; the questions are read to you, and you don't need to write anything down.
You can book the theory assessment online with any ConstructSafe testing centre found at www.constructsafe.kiwi.
Due to the technical nature of this competency, you should already be an registered electrician.
First; download the ConstructSafe App for free from www.itunes.apple.com for iPhone users or www.play.google.com for android phones.
