If you are seeking a qualification that demonstrates your competence for a site supervisor position, the CITB SSSTS is an excellent choice. This blog post provides a comprehensive examination of how this training equips you to assume supervisory duties on construction sites.
Choosing an appropriate safety training course is vital for maintaining compliance and advancing one’s career. MBO Safety Services is an approved CITB training provider and offers a comprehensive range of training programs that are essential for various positions within the construction sector. For instance, the SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) is designed for supervisors, while the SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) caters to site managers. Additionally, courses such as the 1-day Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) course are available for labourers, all of which contribute significantly to fostering a thorough understanding of health and safety standards.
The two days Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is ideal for those in supervisory roles, such as foremen or team leaders overseeing small teams and ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations. If you’re directly responsible for supervising workers and maintaining safety on-site, this course will give you the essential tools. Delegates will be awarded with a certificate of attendance that lasts for 5 years. We recommend that this course is renewed every three years.
For those aspiring to transition into a site management position, the Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) course represents the logical progression. While the SSSTS course provides essential skills for overseeing health and safety on-site, the SMSTS course expands upon this foundation by addressing a wider area of responsibilities throughout the entire site.
The SMSTS course is aimed at site managers or those aspiring to management roles. This is a five-day program that covers a broader range of topics, including legal responsibilities, risk assessments, health, safety, welfare and environmental issues. The SMSTS course is particularly useful for those who need to implement safety systems across an entire site, rather than just ensuring compliance. Like the SSSTS, the SMSTS certificate is also valid for five years, after which a two-day refresher course is required.
