SSSTS REFRESHER

Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme Refresher

1 DAY COURSE

Introduction

CITB SSSTS Refresher (Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme Refresher), also known by the industry as ‘SSSTS-R’, is a 1 day course. This refresher is for those who already hold and in-date SSSTS qualification.

The SSSTS Refresher condenses the content of the SSSTS from 2 days into 1, making it the preferred re-qualification method for almost all employers.

As with the 2 day SSSTS, this condensed version covers all relevant legislation effecting safe working in the building, construction and civil engineering industries. It highlights the need for risk assessment in the workplace, the implementation of the necessary control measures and adequate communication to sustain a health and safety culture within the workforce.

This course is endorsed by Build UK as the standard training for all construction managers.

Delegates must have previously completed the 2 day SSSTS and hold a valid and in date CITB SSSTS certificate. You will be required to email your certificate to our Training Team before attending the course.

PCR Global offer both Remote (Virtual Classroom, delivered via Zoom) and Classroom courses.

At the end of the course you will be able to:

  • Supervise health and safety onsite in accordance with current legal provisions and within the context of their role

  • Develop an understanding of responsibility and accountability for site health, safety and welfare of workers on site

  • Recognise that a safe site is efficient, economical, productive and environmentally friendly.


Course Content

Certification

Certification for this course is valid for 5 years. To remain certified in this area, you will need to take a refresher course before the expiry date on your certificate, otherwise the full SSSTS course will need to be retaken.

What our wonderful Students say …

Phil was very knowledgeable, and gave us real world examples of scenarios along with the course content.

He was also patient and understanding with our queries and happy to recap/go back to slides.

There was a lot to get through (SSSTS Refresher course), but the day was paced well with all the key elements covered.
