The Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is a two-day course designed for those who have, or are about to acquire, supervisory responsibilities in the building, construction, and civil engineering industries. It covers relevant legislation, risk assessment, control measures, and communication to promote a health and safety culture among the workforce. The course is endorsed by Build UK and exceeds the CITB standards for construction supervisors training.
Delegates should hold or be about to hold a supervisory role and must be competent in English at the site supervisor level. This ensures they can effectively understand and apply the course content.
The SSSTS course aims to help site supervisors:
The SSSTS course lasts for two days, totaling 15 hours of instruction. Delegates must complete the entire course to be eligible for certification. Attendance is required in sequence, and if not on consecutive days, the course must be completed within two weeks. Delegates who miss any part of the course due to extenuating circumstances must re-enrol and attend both days again.
The assessment involves an end-of-course examination and a trainer review. Delegates must pass both the exam and all three elements of the trainer review, which assess engagement, collaborative working, and listening skills—key elements for becoming an effective supervisor.
After completing the SSSTS course, a natural progression would be to attend the Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) course. This course further enhances the knowledge and skills required for site management roles, building on the foundation provided by the SSSTS course.
