Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme Refresher

There are important SSSTS Refresher changes:

Candidates must now take an SSSTS Refresher course before their existing certificate expires, otherwise the full SSSTS course will have to be taken again. There is no longer a  six month grace period.

SSSTS Refresher – Course Structure

• How health and safety law is structured
• How the supervisory role fits in with the manager’s role in controlling the site safely
• Understanding the need for method statements
• Construction Site Health, Safety and Welfare
• Communication routes within site activity
• Behavioural safety
• Supervision of occupational health

This is a highly interactive course delivered by means of case studies, classroom discussion, group work and individual/group presentations. Candidates will be continuously assessed and required to successfully complete a multiple-choice test

At the end of the period of training, delegates will be aware of, and able to:
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
