Retail positions can require specific health & safety knowledge, especially in a workplace environment with multiple potential risks. By incorporating the test into your pre-employment application process, employers can assess a candidate's suitability through situational examples instead of just relying on their CV, thereby ensuring only candidates with the adequate skills and knowledge progress further into the application process. This minimises the risk of inaccurate hiring and increases the number of potential long-term hires.
Our Health & Safety skills tests can also be used to help train new employees and up-skill existing ones. Candidates are able to take practice tests before they take the final test. This allows individuals to utilise our easy to use tests as an accessible e-learning tool as part of a wider skills development programme. This test also serves as a good stepping stone into more specific forms of training such as First Aid training.
Psychometric tests such as this are a cost efficient solution for businesses for a multitude of reasons. Through implementing these tests, especially as part of your hiring process, employers reduce the chance of hiring unskilled workers, reducing the amount of additional employee training that is necessary. Our Health & Safety test is also available online, which means businesses don't have to spend additional funds on transport to external testing sites or hiring external markers.
