CITB SSSTS Course Online (Instructor-led)

The CITB Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is the two-day course for supervisors and those about to take on supervisory duties on site. It is delivered live online by an instructor, so delegates can attend from anywhere in the UK without travelling to a training centre.

Who attends?

SSSTS is aimed at people who have, or are preparing to take on, supervisory responsibilities in construction. It is particularly suitable for site supervisors, team leaders, foremen and anyone responsible for overseeing workers and making sure work is carried out safely.

• Communicate health and safety requirements clearly to the workforce
• Promote positive attitudes and behaviours towards health and safety
• Understand the importance of monitoring work activities and addressing unsafe practices
