CITB Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme

CITB Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS)

The supervisors safety training scheme is a requirement for all supervisors who will be working on their sites, as set out by the major contractors group.

This two day course meets the standards set by the UK Construction Group (UKCG) – any site with more than 2 construction workers should hold SSSTS certification. This course prepares candidates for the Site Management Safety Training Scheme and is ideal for Supervisors and Working Foreman’s.

Who is it for?

This course is aimed at first line managers, foreman, gangers, team leaders, supervisors and those who have, or are about to acquire supervisory responsibilities. It provides an introduction to health, safety, welfare and environmental issues as well as legal responsibilities relevant to their work.

What will you learn?

The aim of the two-day refresher course is to help delegates to improve their awareness of recent developments in construction, legislation and health, safety, welfare and environmental issues.

By attending and completing this course you will:

Understand the problems of the industry
Have an understanding of how health and safety law is structured and how it applies to supervisors
Identify how their supervisory role fits in with the management structure in controlling the site safely
Carry out risk assessments and understand the need for method statements
