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.
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.
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.
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.
The Health and Safety in Construction Site Supervisor course is eligible for a Tier 2 Grant claim; this grant can only be claimed once per candidate per lifetime, and the grant does not renew.
