CITB Site Manager Safety Training Scheme
The CITB 5-day Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) is one of the
most highly regarded health and safety training courses within the construction
industry.
It is available for current and prospective site
managers and supervisors, and is taken by more than 10,000 people each year.
The SMSTS health and safety course is approved by CITB, because it helps site
managers (and anyone wanting to become a site manager) to develop:
- a better understanding of the legal, moral and social responsibilities of
their role
- to manage health and safety on site in accordance with current legal
requirements, including CDM.
- to identify and avoid potential hazards on site
- to prepare method statements, risk assessments and other statutory
requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act
The highly-interactive method of delivery of this course makes it
interesting, and it allows for discussion and understanding of the subject areas
together with engaging, practical exercises. During the course, candidates must
pass core exercises. At the end of the course, each individual has to pass a
multiple choice test which qualifies them for the Construction Site Managers
Safety Certificate. The certificate lasts five years, after which candidates
must sit the ‘Two Day SMSTS Refresher Training Course’ to renew the
certificate and keep their qualification up to date. This industry-recognised
training course is ideal for all companies involved in construction – site
clearance, ground and road works, building, assembly, civil engineering,
installation, maintenance, decorating or demolition.
