Having just taken my CSCS test a couple of days ago, I have to say it's pretty useless as far as archaeology goes. There's sensible stuff like not touching bare wires and disposing of contaminated substances properly, but the only section on excavations seems to assume work being undertaken completely underground (with air monitors and such) and there's nothing about working in a trench alone and out of shouting distance of others.
