Free Health and Safety Knowledge Quiz
How well do you really know health and safety? This free online quiz covers the questions that every employee and manager should be able to answer: fire safety, manual handling, display screen equipment, COSHH, risk assessment, RIDDOR reporting, and the legal responsibilities that apply to every UK workplace.
Test your knowledge with the health and safety questions below. Then take Arinite's 2-minute compliance scorecard to find out whether your business arrangements would satisfy an inspector.
What This Health and
Safety Test Covers
The quiz covers seven core areas of workplace health and safety:
Fire safety: the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, responsible person duties, fire risk assessment requirements, and fire marshal obligations.
Manual handling: the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, the hierarchy of controls, and common misconceptions about weight limits.
Display screen equipment (DSE): the DSE Regulations 1992, who must receive a workstation assessment, and home working obligations.
COSHH: the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, what counts as a hazardous substance, and employer duties.
Risk assessment: the HSE five-step process, when a written policy becomes mandatory, and review requirements.
RIDDOR: the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013, reporting timeframes, and specified injuries.
Legal responsibilities: competent person appointment under Regulation 7, director personal liability under Section 37, and employee duties under Section 7 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
All questions and answers are written by Arinite's Chartered health and safety consultants.

What Happens After
the Scorecard?
If your compliance score is high
well done. The scorecard is an indication, not a formal audit. If you want independent confirmation that your arrangements are legally defensible, book a health and safety audit with one of our Chartered consultants.
If your compliance score identifies gaps
that is exactly what the scorecard is designed to do. The next step is a free gap analysis call where a Chartered consultant reviews your arrangements in detail and gives you a clear action plan.
If you are not sure what the results mean
call us. We speak to businesses in exactly this position every day. There is no obligation and no sales pressure. Just a clear answer about where you stand.
Want a Professional Assessment?
The quiz tests knowledge. The scorecard gives you an indication. Neither replaces a professional review by a Chartered health and safety consultant.
Book a free gap analysis call. In 30 minutes, we will assess your actual arrangements, identify the compliance gaps that matter, and give you a clear picture of where you stand.
If we cannot find at least one gap, we send you a £50 gift card. In 15+ years, we have never paid out.
