1Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, which statement best describes an employer's primary duty?

A.Provide a safe place of work, safe systems, training and welfare so far as is reasonably practicable

B.Guarantee that no accidents will ever occur on site

C.Transfer all safety duties to subcontractors in writing

D.Provide PPE only when a worker requests it

Explanation: HASAWA places a duty on employers to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of employees, including a safe workplace, safe systems of work, information, instruction, training and welfare facilities.

2Which of the following is an employee's duty under health and safety law?

A.Write the company safety policy

B.Take reasonable care of their own and others' health and safety and cooperate with the employer

C.Decide which laws apply on site

D.Inspect other companies' workplaces

Explanation: Employees must take reasonable care of themselves and others who may be affected by their acts or omissions, and cooperate with their employer so that legal duties can be complied with, including following safe systems of work.

3Why is it important to manage health, safety and the environment at work?

A.Only after an accident has already happened

B.Only because insurance companies require paperwork

C.For moral, legal and financial reasons

D.Only when the client is watching

Explanation: Health, safety and the environment should be managed for moral reasons (people should not be harmed), legal reasons (statute and enforcement) and financial reasons (accident costs, downtime, prosecution and reputational damage).

4Under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, workers must:

A.Design temporary works without supervision

B.Only follow CDM rules on projects lasting more than a year

C.Ignore welfare facilities if the job is short

D.Take care of their own health and safety and report anything that might endanger themselves or others

Explanation: CDM 2015 requires workers to take care of their own and others' health and safety, report dangers, and cooperate with duty holders. Welfare facilities and a construction phase plan are part of the CDM framework for construction work.

5Which body is the principal UK regulator that enforces health and safety law on most workplaces?

A.The Health and Safety Executive (HSE)

B.Companies House, which registers limited companies

C.The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)

D.Ofgem alone, acting as the only workplace safety regulator

Explanation: The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the main GB regulator enforcing health and safety law. Environmental regulators (such as the Environment Agency) enforce environmental legislation, but HSE is the primary workplace safety enforcer.

6A possible consequence of getting health and safety wrong on a power-industry site is:

A.Only a verbal warning with no further implications

B.Injury, prosecution, fines, enforcement notices and damage to reputation

C.Automatic promotion for the supervisor

D.Exemption from future inspections

Explanation: Failures can cause injury or ill health, lead to HSE enforcement (including notices and prosecution), financial loss and serious reputational harm for individuals and organisations.

7Which statement about a workplace safety policy is correct?

A.It replaces the need for risk assessments

B.It is optional for all employers regardless of size

C.Employers with five or more employees must have a written health and safety policy

D.Only the HSE writes company safety policies

Explanation: Under HASAWA, employers with five or more employees must prepare a written health and safety policy. A policy sets out arrangements; it does not replace risk assessments or safe systems of work.

8Welfare facilities on a construction or utilities worksite should include:

A.Nothing if the shift is under four hours

B.Only facilities for managers

C.Only a first-aid kit in the van

D.Suitable toilets, washing facilities, drinking water and somewhere to rest and eat, as required

Explanation: CDM and H&S law require suitable welfare: toilets, washing, drinking water and rest/eating facilities appropriate to the work. Duration alone does not remove the need for adequate welfare.

9SHEA Power is best described as:

A.A health, safety and environmental awareness passport for access to power operational sites

B.A substitute for written electrical authorisations and competence assessments

C.A five-year CSCS craft card that never needs renewal

D.A technical competence qualification proving you can switch high-voltage circuits

Explanation: SHEA Power is an Energy & Utility Skills passport demonstrating HSE awareness for site access. It does not prove technical craft competence or electrical authorisation, and registration is typically valid for three years.

10Environmental legislation that protects air, land and water is enforced primarily by which type of body?

A.Only trade unions

B.Environmental regulators such as the Environment Agency (and equivalents in the devolved nations)

C.Ofgem alone, with no role for environmental regulators

D.Companies House alone

Explanation: Environmental regulators (Environment Agency in England, and equivalents in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) enforce environmental law protecting air, land and water, alongside HSE's workplace safety role.

About the EUSR SHEA Power Exam

SHEA Power is the Energy & Utility Skills one-day health, safety and environmental awareness passport for people who need access to power-industry operational sites — operatives, supervisors and managers, permanent or temporary. It is a CSCS Alliance / Partner scheme and does not certify technical craft competence or electrical authorisation. The programme has eight modules: workplace responsibilities; environmental effects; identifying and controlling risks; common workplace hazards; occupational health hazards; responding to emergencies; power generation, transmission and distribution; and power industry hazards. Assessment is 40 multiple-choice questions across end-of-module tests. Registration lasts three years.

Assessment

One-day EUSR-approved training covering eight modules (six core utilities HSE modules plus two power-specific modules). Each module is followed by an EUSR-set multiple-choice test marked by the trainer. Candidates must pass every module. CSCS Partner scheme for utilities access to CSCS-controlled sites.

Time Limit

Typically a full working day (scheme specification about 7 hours 40 minutes including assessments); module tests usually 5–10 minutes each.

Passing Score

At most one incorrect answer allowed per module (approximately 80% overall). Module scores cannot be averaged across modules. One retest per failed module is allowed on the day.

Exam Fee

Set by EUSR-approved providers; commonly about £140–£250 plus VAT for the one-day course including registration. Confirm with your provider. (Energy & Utility Skills Register (EUSR), delivered through EUSR-approved training providers)

EUSR SHEA Power Study Tips from Top Performers

1Learn hazard versus risk, the hierarchy of control and the five-step risk assessment cold — they underpin risk modules and many workplace scenarios.

2For power-specific modules, revise generation–transmission–distribution, typical UK voltage stages, and network components such as transformers, substations, overhead lines and underground cables.

3For power industry hazards, link electrical safety rules to Live/Charged/Not Live states, written authorisations (CP/AP/SP), and controls such as isolation, earthing, exclusion zones and treat-as-live until proven.

4Remember the pass rule: every module must be passed with at most one wrong answer — you cannot average scores across modules.

5Practice explaining employer versus employee duties under HASAWA and when to report near misses, accidents and environmental spills.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the EUSR SHEA Power passport?

It is Energy & Utility Skills' one-day Safety, Health and Environmental Awareness scheme for people who need access to power-industry operational sites. It is a passport for awareness, not a technical competence or electrical authorisation qualification, and is affiliated with CSCS for utilities work on CSCS-controlled sites.

How many questions are on the official SHEA Power assessment?

The SHEA Power Scheme Specification sets 40 multiple-choice questions in total across eight end-of-module tests (4 or 6 questions per module). You must pass each module.

What is the pass mark?

You may get at most one question wrong in each module (about 80% overall). Doing well in one module cannot offset failing another. A second attempt is allowed if you fail a module on the first try.

How long is SHEA Power registration valid?

EUSR SHEA Power registration is valid for three years. Renewal can be full-day or, if your registration is still current, half-day classroom or remote routes.

Does SHEA Power authorise me to work on live electrical systems?

No. SHEA Power is an HSE awareness passport for site access. Company electrical safety rules, written authorisations and competence assessments remain required for electrical work on the network.

Are these official EUSR exam questions?

No. These are original OpenExamPrep practice questions modelled on the eight scheme modules. Book an EUSR-approved provider to complete the official training and assessment.
