SSSTS (CITB) - Supervisor Site Safety Training Scheme

The SSSTS course has become the minimum requirement for all site supervisors to hold before setting foot on site. This course is accredited by Cskills, the awarding body for the CITB, and has been designed by those who have the experience of working as site supervisors and managers on a construction site. This is the ideal stepping stone to progress onto the SMSTS course in the future. There are no prerequisites to enroll on this course.

 

The course aims to ensure that all those given supervisory responsibilities understand why they are carrying out their identified duties, what is expected of them and to ensure that they contribute to the safety of the workplace.
