Spotlight on SSSTS Training Courses

CITB SSSTS Courses (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) are essential for anyone working in a supervisory role within the construction industry. They’re also a great way to get ahead in the sector as they’re nationally recognised, endorsed by Build UK, and are specifically designed for the construction industry.

These site supervisor safety training scheme courses will give you a solid foundation in health and safety regulations, equipping supervisors with the knowledge and skills to ensure a safe working environment for their teams.  

Many major contractors require SSSTS training for their supervisors. The courses are attended by thousands every year and you can book classroom and virtual instructor-led SSSTS courses through Easybook Training with ease.

Classroom SSSTS Courses:

• 2 Day CITB SSSTS Course: for anyone with, or about to have, supervisory  responsibilities.  Delegates learn about their health, safety, welfare and environmental issues, as well as their legal responsibilities in relation to work activities. The certification is valid for 5 years, after which a refresher course must be taken.
• 1 Day CITB SSSTS Refresher Course: to maintain SSSTS certification, a refresher course must be completed every 5 years and before the certificate’s expiry date. These provide a knowledge and skills update in line with the latest health and safety regulations. If the refresher course isn’t taken with the 5 year limit, the 2 day course must be taken again.  

These SSSTS courses are available at many accredited training centres throughout the UK. Simply visit the website, select your course and type in your town or postcode to find a SSSTS course near you.  Alternatively, if you have enough delegates, we can offer in-house training, when our trainers will visit your premises at a time to suit you.

You can also book virtual versions of both courses, via Zoom, which are instructor-led and have the same course content as the classroom based courses but without the travel:
