SSSTS Course in Fenstanton

Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme Course in Fenstanton

The SSSTS (Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme) course is about making sure that you understand your roles and responsibilities as a construction site supervisor and the important role that site supervisors and foremen have on a modern-day, highly regulated construction site.

The two-day SSSTS course (Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme) is ideal for a person who is currently a site supervisor or a foreman, or about to be promoted to the job role of a site supervisor or a site foreman.

The SSSTS course is written and accredited through the CITB. The SSSTS course content is regularly updated by the CITB to reflect the changes in both the regulations and modern methods of construction. The course is about proving to your current or potential employer that you are competent at supervising staff on a civil engineering/construction project.

The SSSTS course is widely recognised and respected throughout the construction sector and members of the influential United Kingdom Contractors Group (UKCG), whose members include Balfour Beatty, Bam Construct, Costain, Galliford Try, Keir Group, Skanska and many others, will not allow Site Supervisors or Foreman to work on their sites unless they have passed the SSSTS course. Both the Chartered Institute of Building and the Institute of Civil Engineers recognise the SSSTS course as valid proof of a Site Supervisor's competence.

The SSSTS course content covers the following areas:

• The Management of health & safety on site in accordance with current legal provisions, within the context of being a Site supervisor.
• CDM regulations
• Health & safety and the law
• Hazardous substances - COSHH
• Safe systems of work
• Occupational Health
• Fire prevention/control and other emergencies procedures
• Presentation skills (toolbox talks)
• Intervention skills and behaviour
