WHO IS REQUIRED TO SIT AN SSSTS COURSE?

Wondering if an SSSTS course is right for you? Then you’ve come to the right place! We are SRP Training, home of the SSSTS course London delegates recommend. Here’s everything you need to know about our course in East London, including who it’s suitable for.

WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?

First of all, who is the SSSTS course for? Well, SSSTS stands for ‘Site Supervisors’ Safety Training Scheme’ – and the clue is in the name! This course is designed for anyone working in a supervisory role on a construction site. Whether you are just about to move up into a new role or you have been working as a site supervisor for some time, this course is a must if you are going to be able to make the safest choices for you and those working under you.

WHY DO THEY NEED TO TAKE IT?

So why do supervisors need to take this course? Well, they have a duty of care when it comes to their team, and a legal obligation to work with the safety of those they are supervising in mind. This course will give them the technical knowledge and practical skills they need to do so. They will cover health, safety, welfare and environmental issues. The course is also recognised by Build UK as meeting the required standard for all supervisors working on Build UK sites.

WHAT DOES THE COURSE INVOLVE?

What does the course itself involve? Taking place over 2 days, this course will teach delegates how to uphold health and safety on site, as well as dealing with challenges that they are likely to come across during a typical day. The course is broken down into the following sections:

• The Health and Safety at Work Act
• Everyday site issues that pose a challenge to supervisors
• How to give effective toolbox talks
• Supervision of occupational health
• Maintaining behavioural safety in the workplace

Here at Gliss Training, we pride ourselves on the level of tuition that we are able to provide. All of our courses, including this one, are led by experienced industry professionals. You will be able to learn so much from them, and they are there to answer any questions you may have. The course is taught through case studies, classroom discussion, group work and individual or group presentations. You’ll also need to study outside of the course – which is where you’ll be able to fall back on your tutor’s expertise and guidance.

HOW LONG IS IT VALID FOR?

One of the most common questions that we are asked is how long a SSSTS course is valid for. The answer is pretty straightforward. It’s valid for five years, and when your certificate is coming up for renewal you will be able to take a refresher course to retain it for another five. So it’s not something that you have to worry about every year. If you have any questions about this or want to know anything else about the SSSTS course London delegates recommend, we are here to help.
