1Which Irish Act is the principal legislation governing safety, health and welfare at work on construction sites?
A.Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005
B.Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 1992
C.Building Control Act 2007
D.Companies Act 2014
Explanation: The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 is Ireland's primary occupational safety law. It sets general duties on employers, employees and others and underpins the Construction Regulations 2013 that apply to roof and wall cladding work.
2Under which Statutory Instrument are the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations 2013 issued?
A.S.I. No. 291 of 2013
B.S.I. No. 291 of 2005
C.S.I. No. 125 of 2013
D.S.I. No. 450 of 2018
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, work at height and tasks listed in Schedule 5 such as roof cladding.
3Where in the Construction Regulations 2013 are construction skills registration cards required for specified tasks listed?
A.Schedule 5
B.Schedule 2 only
C.Part 3 exclusively
D.Annex A of the 2005 Act
Explanation: Schedule 5 to the Construction Regulations 2013 lists tasks for which a valid construction skills registration card is required on site. Roof and wall cladding/sheeting tasks fall within the roofing registration categories referenced there.
4Which body enforces workplace safety law on Irish sites where profiled sheeting and cladding are installed?
A.The Health and Safety Authority (HSA)
B.SOLAS exclusively for all enforcement
C.The local county council planning office alone
D.The card issuer without any inspection role
Explanation: The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) is Ireland's national workplace safety enforcement body. It inspects construction sites and may prosecute breaches of the 2005 Act and Construction Regulations 2013 during roof and wall cladding work.
5What must an employer ensure so far as is reasonably practicable under the 2005 Act for cladding operatives?
A.The safety, health and welfare at work of employees
B.That every sheet is installed within one hour regardless of weather
C.That risk assessments are never written down
D.That subcontractors accept all legal liability alone
Explanation: Section 8 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 requires employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare of employees. This includes safe systems for handling cladding sheets, work at height and edge protection.
6Who coordinates safety among contractors during the construction stage on a notifiable project?
A.The project supervisor construction stage (PSCS)
B.Any cladding trainee on first day of site
C.The sheet manufacturer's sales representative only
D.No one — each cladding gang works independently by law
Explanation: The Construction Regulations 2013 require a project supervisor for the construction stage (PSCS) on notifiable projects. The PSCS coordinates safety when cladding teams share roofs with other trades and plant.
7What must be completed before roof or wall cladding installation begins under Irish law?
A.A suitable and sufficient risk assessment of the work
B.Verbal agreement between two workers with no planning
C.Installation regardless of wind conditions without review
D.Exemption from safety rules because cladding is lightweight
Explanation: Employers must carry out risk assessments under the 2005 Act and Construction Regulations 2013. Cladding hazards — falls, fragile liner sheets, manual handling, overhead lines and MEWP use — must be identified before work starts.
8When must a site risk assessment for cladding work be reviewed and revised?
A.When there is a significant change in the work or new hazards arise
B.Never after the first day on site
C.Only following a fatal accident
D.Only when a competitor requests it
Explanation: Risk assessments must be kept up to date under the 2005 Act. On cladding projects, changes such as altered access, wind conditions, MEWP repositioning or progression from liner to outer sheet phases may require revision.
9What duty do employees have regarding their own safety under the 2005 Act when fixing cladding?
A.Take reasonable care for their own safety and that of others affected by their acts
B.Ignore site rules if they believe they work faster without them
C.Refuse all training offered by the employer
D.Carry oversized sheet panels alone to save time
Explanation: Section 13 of the 2005 Act places duties on employees to take reasonable care for themselves and others. Cladding operatives must follow safe systems, use mechanical aids where provided and report fragile liner conditions.
10May a worker perform Schedule 5 cladding tasks using only an expired CSCS registration 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 — ten years of experience replaces the card requirement
D.Yes — on cladding 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 roof or wall cladding work.
