The electrotechnical industry is constantly striving to improve the Health and Safety awareness of everyone who work in the industry. The Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) Health and Safety Assessment was introduced in 2002 in compliance of the Electrotechnical Certification Scheme’s affiliation to the Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) that requires anyone obtaining or renewing an ECS Identification Card to demonstrate an acceptable standard of health and safety knowledge.

Passing the assessment demonstrates that the minimum required level of health and safety knowledge has satisfactorily been passed.
