This two-day Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) course is designed for Site Supervisors or those intending to progress into a Supervisory role or those who have or are about to acquire supervisory responsibilities in the building construction and civil engineering industries.

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.

You can technically be a site supervisor without holding a Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) certification, however, depending on the specific requirements of your employer, project and legal or regulatory frameworks in place you may need to obtain a SSSTS certificate.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM 2015), employers are required to ensure that supervisors are competent and have the necessary training to fulfil their health and safety requirements. The SSSTS course is one way to demonstrate this competence.

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.

SSSTS certifications alone are insufficient to apply for a CSCS card. To obtain a CSCS card, you must complete a relevant NVQ at a high enough level for the specific card you are looking for. Site supervisors hold a CSCS Gold Supervisor card to help prove competence and experience.

The Construction Leadership Council recommends the SSSTS course in addition to NVQs, to ensure an extensive understanding of the relevant health, safety, and legal regulations. The CSCS Gold Supervisor card requires the Specialist supervisory (SUP) HS&E test, as well as the Level 4 Construction Site Supervision NVQ.
