CITB (SMSTS)
Site Managers Safety Training Scheme
Manage health and safety on-site in accordance with current legal provisions, and within the context of their management or supervisory role. Develop an understanding of responsibilities and accountability for site health, safety and welfare. Recognise that a safe site is efficient, economical and productive.
The Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) is designed for site managers, agents and persons who are, or are about to be, responsible for planning, organising, monitoring, controlling and administering groups of staff and workforce.
The SMSTS course has a high proportion of discussions, best practice sharing, syndicate exercises and case studies will be supplemented with video and classroom based tutorials.
A certain amount of the SMSTS course content will require delegates to compile and present their understanding of how to comply with current legislation for assessment; delegates are increasingly finding the use of a laptop during these sessions helpful.
Delegates will be continuously assessed during the SMSTS course in preparation for the final multiple choice examination.
