SMSTS refresher is a two-day training course you can use to renew your SMSTS qualification. This course will bring your health and safety knowledge up to date, and teach you the recent developments in the industry.
This refresher knowledge will give you the latest tools needed to continuously maintain a safety culture in your workplace. You can choose to take the CITB SMSTS refresher course online or in the classroom.
