The HS&E test for Managers and Professionals covers six key areas including Legal & Management, Health & Welfare, General Safety, High Risk Activities, Environment, and Specialist Activities. Updated in 2023, the test now includes modern topics such as mental health, leadership, occupational health governance, and environmental sustainability.
