I've got my test booked for this week and have just been flicking through the revision book. Common sense seems to cover most if it! 
To put people minds at rest here is a typical question: What can you do to reduce the risks of rats on site? a) lay traps b)lay poison c)bring cats(!) d)put rubbish in the bin. Seriously I don't think there is anything to worry about. The only sections that I had to read a bit more carefully were the electricity and working at height, but still got only 1 wrong in each section on my last practice.
More interesting for Bajrites is possibly the section on PPE. It just reinforces how badly most archaeologists fare in this aspect of work; most of the answers are 'the employer must pay for all ppe etc' but how many people here have had more than a hi vis bought for them? Apparently we are all entitled to waterproofs and boots! As well as a covered seated area with hot water facilities for break! :face-approve:
