CITB Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) Refresher

Course Aim

The refresher course is for delegates who have previously passed the 2-day Site Supervisor’s Safety Training Scheme course and can provide proof of successful attendance. It aims to bring health and safety knowledge up to date, as well as giving a thorough overview of the legislative changes and their impact in the workplace. The course includes a wide range of topics which have been affected by the changes to procedures built upon the material in the original course.

Who can attend

Delegates can only attend if they complete the Refresher course prior to the expiry date shown on their current certificate - there is no grace period thereafter.

Each delegate must bring to the course a copy of their current certificate.

Failure to attend the refresher course prior to the expiry of an existing certificate will require the delegate to re-enter the scheme by completing the full 2-day SSSTS course if they wish to remain in the scheme. 

If a Delegate cannot provide a copy of their certificate, it may be possible to receive confirmation from ConstructionSkills Helpdesk on 0844 844 1315.

Objectives

The refresher course aims to:

  • Raise awareness of current trends within the Health and Safety Executive direction of enforcement.
  • Improve awareness of recent development in construction, legislation and health and safety, welfare and environmental issues.
  • Identify measures that will assist the practical implementation of responsibilities established by new legislation and working practices.

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

  • Be aware of, and able to implement all updated health, safety, welfare and environmental legislation which affects them in their role as a supervisor.
  • Be aware of and able to implement new guidance and industry best practice affected by changes.
