The two-day CITB SSSTS course is a Site Safety Plus accredited Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme for construction site supervisors. The site safety accreditation is the most recognised qualification and is a standard requirement for all supervisors set out by Build UK (previously known as UKCG).
CITB SSSTS courses are suitable for ‘acting’ managers or supervisors looking to take on a supervisor role.
SSSTS takes place over two days and helps develop knowledge, awareness and understanding of legal, moral and social responsibilities in respect of health, safety and welfare on construction sites. The course is a ‘supervisor’ course and is not the same as SMSTS (Site Manager Safety Training Scheme) which is more advanced course and qualification.
At the end of the course you will have an understanding of:
- Health & Safety – Laws & Regulations
- Supervisory responsibilities in controlling safely
- Risk Assessment and Method Statements (RAMS)
- Effective site inductions, tool box talks and method statement briefing
- Accident reporting
- Monitoring site activities safely
- The importance of using the correct PPE
- Intervening when bad practice is identified
Course entails:
- Group presentations
- Individual presentation to the class
- Course examination – delegates must acheive a pass mark of 80% of more.
Mandatory entry requirements:
- To be able to read, write and understand English to a good level. Please contact us if you have any concerns in this area.
