1Which Irish statute is the primary framework for securing the safety, health and welfare of persons at work?
A.Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
B.Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 1989
C.Irish Building Regulations Act 1997
D.Road Traffic Act 2010
Explanation: The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 is the principal Irish legislation governing workplace safety and health. It establishes general duties on employers, employees and others and underpins sector-specific regulations including construction.
2Under which Statutory Instrument are the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013 made?
A.S.I. No. 291 of 2013
B.S.I. No. 125 of 2005
C.S.I. No. 450 of 2010
D.S.I. No. 88 of 1999
Explanation: The Construction Regulations 2013 are made as S.I. No. 291 of 2013. They apply to construction projects in Ireland and include requirements for competence, coordination and specific hazards such as work at height.
3Where in the Construction Regulations 2013 are construction skills registration cards for specified tasks listed?
A.Schedule 5
B.Schedule 1 only
C.Part 9 exclusively
D.The regulations contain no card schedule
Explanation: Schedule 5 to the Construction Regulations 2013 lists tasks for which a valid construction skills registration card is required on site. SOLAS CSCS cards, including roofing cards, are issued against these scheduled tasks.
4Which body enforces occupational safety and health law on Irish construction sites, including roofwork?
A.The Health and Safety Authority (HSA)
B.An Garda Síochána exclusively
C.Local planning authorities alone
D.The Revenue Commissioners
Explanation: The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) is Ireland's national body for workplace safety and health enforcement. It inspects construction sites and can prosecute breaches of the 2005 Act and Construction Regulations 2013.
5What must an employer do so far as is reasonably practicable under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005?
A.Ensure the safety, health and welfare at work of employees
B.Guarantee that no accident will ever occur on site
C.Eliminate the need for any risk assessment
D.Delegate all legal duties entirely to subcontractors without oversight
Explanation: Section 8 of the 2005 Act requires employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare at work of their employees. This includes safe systems of work, training and supervision relevant to roof felting.
6Under Irish construction law, who is responsible for coordinating safety on a construction project where more than one contractor is involved?
A.The project supervisor construction stage (PSCS)
B.Any roofing trainee on the project
C.The material supplier only
D.No one — each worker decides individually
Explanation: The Construction Regulations 2013 require appointment of a project supervisor for the construction stage (PSCS) on notifiable projects. The PSCS coordinates safety among contractors, which is critical when roof felting overlaps with other trades.
7What is required before roof felting work begins on a construction project under Irish law?
A.A suitable and sufficient risk assessment of the work
B.Verbal agreement between two workers only
C.Completion of the roof without any written planning
D.Exemption from all safety rules because the work is temporary
Explanation: Employers must carry out risk assessments under the 2005 Act and Construction Regulations 2013. Roofwork hazards — falls, fragile surfaces, hot bitumen — must be identified and controlled before work starts.
8When must a contractor review and revise a construction site risk assessment?
A.When there is a significant change in the work or new hazards arise
B.Never — one assessment lasts for the entire career
C.Only after a fatal accident has occurred
D.Only when requested by a competitor
Explanation: Risk assessments must be kept up to date under the 2005 Act. On roof projects, changes such as altered access routes, weather conditions or progression from bituminous to single-ply phases may require revision.
9What must employees do regarding their own safety and health under the 2005 Act?
A.Take reasonable care for their own safety and that of others affected by their acts or omissions
B.Ignore site rules if they believe they work faster without them
C.Refuse all training offered by the employer
D.Work on fragile roofs without telling anyone to avoid delays
Explanation: Section 13 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 places duties on employees to take reasonable care for themselves and others. Roof felters must follow safe systems, use provided protection and report hazards.
10Can a person perform scheduled construction tasks requiring a registration card if they hold only an expired card?
A.No — the card must be valid at the time of the task
B.Yes — expiry does not matter if they were once registered
C.Yes — if they have ten years of experience regardless of card status
D.Yes — on roof sites only, cards are optional
Explanation: Construction Regulations 2013 require a valid construction skills registration card for tasks listed in Schedule 5. An expired card does not demonstrate current assessed competence for bituminous or single-ply roof felting.
