What are the requirements?

CITB has also introduced remote courses where candidates can take training courses on their own using online resources.
The Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is a two-day training course designed for site supervisors or those who are about to take on supervisory responsibilities. The course covers the health and safety regulations relevant to the construction industry and helps supervisors develop their understanding of their legal responsibilities.
Any person who is going to be working as a site supervisor or taking on supervisory responsibilities must be trained to carry out this role, and taking the SSSTS course is an essential part of developing competence. This includes supervisors, team leaders, foremen, and anyone who will be overseeing work on a construction site.
The SSSTS course is a two-day course. Each day usually lasts for around 7.5 hours, including breaks.
The course covers a range of health and safety topics, including legal responsibilities, risk assessments, method statements, working at height, fire safety, and hazardous substances. The course also includes interactive exercises and group discussions.
Yes, there is a multiple-choice, short-written answer exam at the end of the course. The pass mark for the exam is 80%, and participants will receive a CITB certification upon successful completion of the course.
The SSSTS certificate is valid for five years. After five years, site supervisors must retake this course or take a 1-day refresher to renew their certification.
Yes, the SSSTS course is accredited by the CITB (Construction Industry Training Board), which is the leading provider of training and certification for the UK construction industry.
Yes, the SSSTS course can be delivered online, but it must be delivered by an accredited training provider who has been approved by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB). The course is delivered in the same manner as a face-to-face course.
Yes, if you have attended a previous 2-day SSSTS course or a subsequent 1-day refresher course, you will be eligible to attend a 1-day refresher course to renew your certification. You will only be able to attend a refresher course if your current certification hasn’t expired.
All course material will be provided when you have been successfully booked onto the course; this will include the CITB GE706 Construction Site Supervision and GT700 Toolbox Talks. This is included in the cost of our course.
