CITB Site Managers Safety Training Scheme

Course outline:

The CITB Site Safety Plus Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) health and safety course is highly regarded within the construction industry, taken by more than 10,000 people each year.

The SMSTS training course helps site managers (and anyone training to become a site manager) to develop a better understanding of the legal, moral and social responsibilities of their role, and to integrate good health & safety practice into site management.

Candidates are continually assessed during the course, culminating in a presentation to the group and summative assessment.

To retain the qualification beyond the expiry date delegates must attend and pass the SMSTS Refresher course within 5 years.

– Site Set Up
