SSSTS Refresher Course – 1 Day
Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme Refresher
CITB SSSTS Refresher Training Course
The SSSTS Refresher course is designed for construction professionals who already hold a Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) qualification and need to renew their training.
Delivered over one day, the SSSTS Refresher provides an opportunity to update your knowledge of construction health and safety, review important legislation and refresh your understanding of the responsibilities associated with supervising work on site.
Safeteam Training Group delivers professional SSSTS Refresher training for site supervisors, foremen, chargehands, team leaders and other construction professionals who need to keep their existing qualification up to date. Training can be delivered at our centres, with suitable group training also available at customer premises.
Who Should Attend the SSSTS Refresher?
The SSSTS Refresher is intended for delegates who already hold an existing SSSTS qualification and need to renew their certification.
It is suitable for:
- Site Supervisors
- Assistant Site Supervisors
- Foremen
- Gangers
- Chargehands
- Team Leaders
- Experienced tradespeople with supervisory responsibilities
- Construction professionals with an existing SSSTS qualification
If you have never completed SSSTS before, you would normally need to complete the full two-day SSSTS course rather than the refresher.
Why Complete an SSSTS Refresher?
Construction sites, legislation and industry guidance can change over time. Refresher training helps supervisors keep their knowledge current and continue to understand their responsibilities for maintaining safe working practices.
Completing an SSSTS Refresher can help you to:
- Update your construction health and safety knowledge
- Review changes to relevant legislation and guidance
- Refresh your understanding of supervisory responsibilities
- Improve your approach to identifying workplace hazards
- Reinforce effective communication with workers
- Support safer working practices
- Maintain your SSSTS qualification
- Demonstrate your ongoing commitment to workplace safety
For supervisors working in fast-moving construction environments, keeping health and safety knowledge current is an important part of effective site supervision.
What Will You Learn?
The SSSTS Refresher revisits important principles from the original SSSTS course while focusing on current requirements, responsibilities and developments within construction health and safety.
Topics covered include:
- Construction health and safety legislation
- The role and responsibilities of the site supervisor
- Changes in relevant legislation and guidance
- Risk assessments
- Method statements
- Hazard identification
- Site inductions
- Toolbox talks
- Communication and consultation
- Monitoring safe working practices
- Accident prevention
- Accident reporting
- Emergency procedures
- Working at height
- Excavation safety
- Manual handling
- Occupational health
- Environmental considerations
- Behavioural safety
The course is designed to help delegates consider how their responsibilities as supervisors affect the safety of workers and other people on site.
SSSTS Refresher Course Duration
The SSSTS Refresher course is delivered over one day.
The one-day format allows existing SSSTS-qualified delegates to update their knowledge and renew their training without having to repeat the full two-day SSSTS course.
Delegates must attend the required training and successfully complete the course assessment.
SSSTS Refresher Assessment
Delegates are assessed during the course and must successfully complete the required assessment.
The assessment is designed to confirm that delegates understand the key health and safety principles covered during the refresher training.
Successful completion enables delegates to maintain their SSSTS qualification, subject to the relevant CITB requirements.
Who Can Take the SSSTS Refresher?
The SSSTS Refresher is specifically intended for people who already hold an SSSTS qualification.
If you have never completed the SSSTS course, or your previous qualification is no longer valid, you may need to complete the full SSSTS course rather than the refresher.
If you are unsure which course you require, contact Safeteam Training Group and our team can help you identify the appropriate option.
When Should I Take My SSSTS Refresher?
You should plan your SSSTS Refresher before your existing qualification expires.
Checking the expiry date on your certificate well in advance gives you time to find a suitable training date and avoid any unnecessary interruption to your ability to meet employer or contractor requirements.
We recommend booking your refresher training in good time rather than waiting until your certificate is close to expiry.
SSSTS Refresher Certification
Successful delegates receive updated CITB SSSTS certification following completion of the refresher training and required assessment.
The qualification provides evidence that the delegate has completed the relevant refresher training and updated their knowledge of construction health and safety.
