I'm new to this CSCS business as I am coming from America. There is some interesting discussion going on that I've found incredibly enlightening. I am going to take the test when I finally start my course (MA at Southampton! :-D) because I've seen it required or recommended for a number of jobs, I do have a question, though: Is there a focus simply on PPE and safe handling of dangerous equipment, or do they deal with issues such as how many litres of water one must drink per hour during physically-demanding work or other physiological safety concerns like having an epi-pen for people deathly allergic to bees, for example?
