SSSTS Course

Build Your Supervisory Skills with the CITB Approved SSSTS Course

The SSSTS course (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) from SAMS LTD is a nationally recognised CITB SSSTS qualification designed to equip current and aspiring site supervisors with the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to effectively manage health, safety and welfare on construction sites.

Whether you’re stepping into your first supervisory position or looking to formalise your existing experience, our SSSTS training course provides an excellent foundation in site safety, legal compliance and leadership. Throughout the course, you’ll develop the knowledge required to supervise teams safely, identify workplace hazards, communicate effectively with colleagues and contractors, and contribute to creating a positive health and safety culture on site.

Delivered over two days, our CITB SSSTS course is fully accredited and Build UK approved, making it one of the construction industry’s most widely recognised qualifications for site supervisors. Employers across the UK increasingly expect supervisors to hold an SSSTS certificate, demonstrating they have received appropriate training in construction health and safety management.

At SAMS LTD, we offer both SSSTS courses online and classroom-based learning, giving you the flexibility to complete your qualification in the way that best suits your schedule. Whichever option you choose, you’ll receive expert tuition from experienced instructors together with ongoing support throughout your learning journey, helping you achieve your SSSTS certificate with confidence.

Why Take the SSSTS Training Course?

Site supervisors play one of the most important roles on any construction project. They act as the link between site management and the workforce, ensuring work is carried out safely, efficiently and in accordance with current legislation and company procedures.

Our SSSTS training has been specifically designed to help supervisors understand their legal responsibilities while providing practical techniques that can be applied immediately in the workplace.

During the course, you’ll develop a thorough understanding of how to identify hazards, assess risks, implement appropriate control measures and promote safe working practices throughout your team. You’ll also learn how effective supervision contributes to reducing accidents, improving productivity and ensuring projects remain compliant with current health and safety legislation.

Completing your SSSTS course online or in the classroom will prepare you to:

• Understand your legal responsibilities under current health and safety legislation and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations.
• Carry out and document suitable and sufficient site risk assessments.
• Understand the purpose and importance of method statements and safe systems of work.
• Deliver engaging toolbox talks, site inductions and safety briefings to your workforce.
• Recognise unsafe acts and unsafe conditions before they result in accidents or incidents.
• Promote positive attitudes towards health, safety and environmental management.
• Communicate effectively with site managers, contractors and operatives.
• Lead by example and create a strong culture of safety across your team.

Upon successful completion of the CITB SSSTS course, you’ll receive your recognised SSSTS certificate, demonstrating that you have the knowledge and competence expected of a responsible site supervisor.

Who Should Take the SSSTS Online Course?

The SSSTS online course has been designed for anyone who currently supervises construction activities or is preparing to move into a supervisory position.

As construction projects become increasingly regulated, employers are looking for supervisors who understand both the practical and legal aspects of health and safety management. Holding a recognised CITB SSSTS qualification demonstrates your commitment to maintaining high standards of site safety and professional development.

The course is particularly suitable for:

• Site supervisors
• Team leaders
• Foremen
• Assistant site managers
• Working supervisors
• Chargehands
• Experienced operatives progressing into supervisory roles
• Anyone preparing for future management responsibilities within construction

Whether you work within housebuilding, civil engineering, infrastructure, commercial construction, maintenance or refurbishment, the SSSTS training course provides valuable knowledge that can be applied across a wide range of construction environments.

To gain the maximum benefit from the course, delegates should have a good understanding of written and spoken English, as active participation forms an important part of the learning experience.

SSSTS Course Content – What You’ll Learn

Our online SSSTS course follows the official CITB Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme syllabus, combining legal knowledge with practical site supervision techniques that delegates can immediately apply in the workplace.

Throughout the two-day programme you’ll develop a greater understanding of your responsibilities as a supervisor while learning how effective leadership contributes to safer construction sites.

Course topics include:

The course places strong emphasis on practical application, enabling delegates to understand not only what the law requires but also how to implement those requirements effectively within day-to-day site operations.

By the end of your SSSTS training, you’ll have the confidence to supervise teams more effectively, improve communication across site and contribute towards creating safer, more compliant construction projects.

How Long Is the SSSTS Course?

The CITB SSSTS course is delivered over two consecutive days, providing delegates with sufficient time to fully understand the course content while participating in discussions, practical exercises and assessment activities.

For delegates choosing our SSSTS courses online, training is delivered live via Zoom by experienced CITB-approved instructors. This interactive format provides the same recognised qualification as classroom training while offering significantly greater flexibility.

During the course you’ll be encouraged to ask questions, participate in group discussions and share practical workplace experiences with both your tutor and fellow delegates.

Prior to the final assessment, you’ll receive:

• A full course workbook.
• Practice assessment questions.
• Technical guidance for accessing the online training platform.
• Support from experienced instructors throughout the course.

This structured approach helps maximise confidence before the assessment and contributes to our consistently high pass rates.

The SSSTS certificate remains valid for five years. To maintain your qualification, delegates should complete the Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme Refresher (SSSTS-R) before the certificate expires.

Your SSSTS certificate is valid for five years from the date of successful completion.

Before it expires, supervisors should complete the Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme Refresher (SSSTS-R) to maintain their qualification and continue demonstrating competence within their supervisory role.

The refresher course updates delegates on changes to legislation, current industry best practice and evolving health and safety responsibilities while reinforcing the key principles covered during the original SSSTS course.
