CPCS Health, Safety & Environment Test

NDTG Now Accepts CPCS Health, Safety & Environment Test for CCDO Demolition Labourer and DRO Cards

We are now accepting the CPCS Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) test for obtaining select CCDO cards. This change provides greater flexibility and access for those seeking entry-level demolition roles.

Eligible Card Types

• CCDO Demolition Labourer Card
• CCDO Demolition Refurbishment Operative (DRO) Card

Key Benefits of the Change

• Remote Testing Access: The CPCS HS&E test can be taken remotely from anywhere in the UK, removing the need to travel to testing centers.
• Wider Accessibility: Ideal for workers in remote areas or with limited access to test locations, this option is more affordable and accessible.
• Cost and Time Savings: Remote access reduces travel expenses and the time typically required for in-person exams.

Additional Requirements and Safety Assurance

• Maintained Safety Standards: Candidates using the CPCS HS&E test must still meet all other CCDO card requirements, ensuring readiness for safe site work.
• Consistency Across Construction Sectors: This update aligns NDTG’s process with other construction sectors, allowing easier career transitions within the industry.

By expanding access, NDTG is promoting a more inclusive and accessible certification process, fostering a diverse workforce equipped with essential safety credentials. This is a positive step toward supporting both industry growth and worker readiness.
