SSSTS Courses to get ahead

With huge competition in the construction job market, why not think about improving your employment options by sending yourself on an SSSTS Course.

With the economic belt-tightening that has needed to take place over the past few years, more and more companies are looking for employees that can offer that little bit extra. So those employees or prospective employees that have industry related qualifications are sure to go to the top of the list. Employees across many industries are finding that to get ahead they need to go back to school and increase their qualifications and therefore their marketability. This is undoubtedly true of the construction industry, where competition for jobs is fierce and the need to stand out from the crowd of those applying for a job is paramount.

The higher up the ladder that you go, the more important it becomes to keep up to speed with your training. SSSTS Training - CITB Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme - is intended for those who have, or are about to acquire, supervisory responsibilities. It offers new or existing supervisors training to understand health, safety, welfare and environmental issues, as well as their legal responsibilities.

So why are SSSTS Courses so important? Many high risk jobs require a large amount of safety training and qualifications, SSSTS Courses are popular because they are relatively short so they do not take a huge amount of time but they also provide an individualwith the knowledge they need to safely oversee day to day and even risky operations on a construction site. Easybook Training's SSSTS Courses are endorsed by the United Kingdom Contractors Group as the standard training for all supervisors working on UKCG sites.

The purpose of an SSSTS Course is to make delegates familiar with risk assessments on a construction site. It teaches delegates how to create controlled situations and limit the risk of accidents or injury in the environment. If a supervisor is leading a group of workers, they need to be sure that they feel safe in their environment and that they feel they can come to their supervisor for questions and support. These courses help to build up the health and safety skill set and can be an essential qualification to perform some roles. This makes them a smart investment for many individuals and employers.
