It is part of the CITB Site Safety Plus suite, and most principal contractors treat it as a condition of appointment for anyone managing a site, a package or a phase of works. The certificate lasts five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike awareness-level training, SMSTS is written for people who make decisions. It deals with what the law actually requires of a site manager, how to plan work so that risk is designed out rather than managed around, and how to hold a supply chain to the standard you have set.
