Introduction
The Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) 5 day course 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.

Aims and Objectives
The SMSTS 5 day course aims to help site managers, agents and supervisors to:
- 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 a safe site is efficient, economical and productive.
At the end of the SMSTS training course, delegates will be aware of, and able to:
- implement all health, safety, welfare and environmental legislation which affects them during their daily work
- implement new guidance and industry best practice
- state their duties and responsibilities with regards to health, safety, welfare and the environment.
Assessment and Certification
The method of assessment on SMSTS courses will be by exercises, a case study and an end of course examination.
SMSTS training certificates are valid for 5 years. However, due to continuing changes in legislation, technology, environmental management and cultural behaviour, it is recommended that refresher courses are undertaken within 3 years of completing the original SMSTS course. We also offer the SMSTS Refresher Course.
Course Attendance
Delegates are required to attend all sessions to achieve the Site Management Safety Training Scheme Certificate. Delegates must attend the days in order, in accordance with the course programme, to achieve the necessary learning objectives to qualify for the certificate.
If this is not possible, the Delegate must enrol on a new course and retake the full five day SMSTS 5 day course.
