What will you gain from the Site Supervision Training Scheme (SSSTS)?

Completing the SSSTS course will provide you with a 5-year CITB Site Safety Plus certificate. After five years, you will need to complete the SSSTS Refresher course to maintain the qualification.

SSSTS Course Overview:

The 2-day safety course covers all relevant legislation affecting safe working in the building, construction, and civil engineering industries. It emphasizes the importance of risk assessment in the workplace, the implementation of necessary control measures, and effective communication to sustain a strong health and safety culture within the workforce.

At the end of the safety course, you will have an understanding of:

• Health and safety law and how it applies to supervisors.

• Your supervisory responsibilities in controlling site safety.

• 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.

SSSTS Career Progression

Completing the SSSTS course and earning your Site Safety Plus certification opens up a career in site supervision, which can lead to site management. As a site manager, you will have more responsibilities on-site. If you already have site manager duties, you may want to consider completing the CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS).
