SSSTS Course – CITB

This is a two-day course delivered over two consecutive days. Although many subjects are covered in the two days, the course is highly interactive and engaging.

The two-day course allows you to gain all the knowledge you need to supervise site health and safety effectively without spending too long away from the site.

Site Supervisors or those who are aspiring to become one should attend this course. The course is highly informative and gives you all the information you need to improve health and safety, and to supervise effectively.

As a supervisor, you have responsibilities for health and safety on-site; the knowledge that you gain will help to protect the safety of yourself and your colleagues by reducing accidents and absences.

The qualification is also highly recognised and an important one to have as a Site Supervisor.

The minimum requirement for entry is that the delegate can understand, write and speak English well. 

If you cannot meet this basic requirement, we will remove you from the course. It is important as a supervisor to understand those around you on-site and be able to read safety signs properly.

You will need to provide Photographic ID and your national insurance number  on the first day of the course.

This is used for a quick compliance check to ensure that the correct person is attending the course and not someone in their place.
