CITB - Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS)
Course Description
The Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is a two-day course designed for individuals who currently have, or are about to take on, supervisory responsibilities within the building, construction, and civil engineering industries. The course covers essential legislation and other aspects that impact safe working practices. It emphasizes the importance of risk assessments, the implementation of control measures, and effective communication to foster a health and safety culture on-site.
This course is endorsed by Build UK and exceeds the standards set by CITB for construction supervisors training.
Course Aims
The SSSTS course aims to equip site supervisors with the necessary skills to:
- Supervise health and safety on-site in accordance with current legal requirements and within the context of their role.
- Understand their responsibilities and accountability for the health, safety, and welfare of workers on-site.
- Recognise the benefits of maintaining a safe, efficient, economical, productive, and environmentally friendly work environment.
Who Should Attend?
This course is ideal for those who currently hold or are about to hold a supervisory role within the construction industry. Delegates must be competent in English at the site supervisor level.
Entry Requirements
Participants should currently hold or be about to take on a supervisory role. Competency in English at the supervisory level is required to participate in this course.
Delegate Numbers
The course can accommodate a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 20 delegates. These numbers are fixed and not subject to appeal.
Course Duration and Attendance
The SSSTS course is a two-day program totalling 15 hours. Full attendance is mandatory to qualify for certification. Delegates must attend the course sessions in sequence, and if the days are not consecutive, they must complete the course within a two-week period. In cases of extenuating circumstances (e.g., certificated sickness), participants will need to re-enrol in a new course and attend both days again.
