Our Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) courses are aimed at people who have, or are about to acquire, supervisory responsibilities. The qualification gives supervisors an understanding of health, safety, welfare, environmental and legal issues. It serves to highlight the importance of promoting safety in order to supervise in an effective manner.
The training programme is endorsed by the United Kingdom Contractors Group as the standard course for all supervisors who work on UKCG sites.
Those who complete the course may want to progress to the five-day Site Management Safety Training Scheme course. For example, existing site managers, agents, surveyors and managers should consider this extra training.

Course Duration
The course takes places over a period of two days.
Aims and Objectives
While on the course, delegates gain an understanding of:
- why they are carrying out their identified duties
- what is expected of them
- how they can contribute to the safety of the workplace
By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:
- understand the problems of the industry
- understand how health and safety law is structured and how it applies to supervisors
- identify how their supervisory role fits in with the management structure in controlling site safely
- carry out risk assessments and understand the need for method statements
- carry out effective site inductions, toolbox talks and method statement briefings
- monitor site activities effectively
- understand the importance of timely intervention when bad practice is identified
Certification
Delegates gain certification by completing multiple-choice questions at the end of the course. They are also expected to be interactive during the course and they must attend both training sessions. Without full attendance, the certificate cannot be awarded. Delegates must also attend the sessions in order. When this does not occur on consecutive days, it must happen within two weeks. Those who are unable to do this due to extenuating circumstances (such as sickness) have to enrol on a new course and attend both days again.
Certificates are valid for five years. However, because of changes in technology, environmental management, cultural behaviour and legislation, it is recommended that refresher courses are taken within three years.
Interactive Homework
To help candidates prepare for the multiple-choice assessment, they are provided with interactive revision materials covered by their course fees. These random multiple-choice questions are based on actual assessments and delegates receive immediate feedback. They can use the materials as many times as they wish.
