This industry leading course will provide delegates with improved and refreshed knowledge and understanding on responsibilities and accountability for site safety.
This remote learning and examination option for the Site Management Safety Training Scheme Refresher (SMSTS) course has been created to allow delegates to gain and develop the required knowledge outside of the classroom. A valid up to date SSSTS certificate is required to take this course.
At the end of the course you will have an understanding of:
- Health and Safety law and how it applies to supervisors
- Your supervisory responsibilities in controlling site safely
- Risk assessments and the need for method statements
- Effective site inductions, toolbox talks and method statement briefings
- Monitoring site activities effectively
- Timely intervention when bad practice is identified
Certification for this course is valid for 5 years. To remain certified in this area, you will need to take a refresher course before the expiry date on your certificate, otherwise the full course will need to be retaken.
We offer this through many trainers but mostly HSS, CST and ATS Training both remote and face to face.
This attracts a CITB Short Course Duration Grant at Tier 2 – 50%, with a value of £120.
