Working at Height

 Falls from height are the most common cause of fatal injury in construction.

This exam is intended to test specialist knowledge and understanding of working at height, and the issues that will need to be considered, in the Pre-Construction Phase, in order to prevent accidents occurring.

There will be 20 questions and you have 60 minutes in which to sit the exam. We suggest you set time aside to take the exam in a quiet uninterrupted space. If you reach the 60 minute time limit and have not clicked submit, the exam will automatically time out and your answers will be submitted as they stand at that point. On completion of the exam you will receive the result on screen. If you pass the exam you do not need to do anything. If you fail the exam instructions on how to resit will be displayed on the screen. Please note there is only ONE correct answer for each question.

Please note that these exams are not ‘general WAH knowledge’ exams.  They are intended to test specialist work at height knowledge within a construction environment. You are advised not to attempt the exam without detailed knowledge and understanding of the subject area.

A link to “Recommended reading” is provided on the WAH CMaPs Exam launch page.  In addition, APS Practice Note 3/13 “Designing Buildings With Safety at Height in Mind” will be a particularly valuable starting point.  (Further guidance and reference material is available within the Guidance section of the APS site.)
