The Site Management Safety Training Scheme Refresher (known by industry ‘SMSTS Refresher’) is for site managers looking to prequalify their original SMSTS or subsequent SMSTS Refresher. Each time a student qualifies, or re-qualifies their SMSTS the qualification expires 5 years from the end of the month in which they were assessed.
By completing the SMSTS Refresher the training time is cut from 5 to 2 days of training, making this the course the preferred re-qualification method for almost all employers.
As with the 5 Day SMSTS, this condensed version covers all relevant legislation affecting safe working in the building, construction and civil engineering industries. It highlights the need for risk assessment in the workplace, the implementation of the necessary control measures and adequate communication to sustain a health and safety culture within the workforce.
