CITB SSSTS Course

Course Description

Intended for those who have or are about to move into a supervisory role in the construction and civil engineering industries. The CITB SSSTS course aims to provide new and existing supervisors with a strong knowledge of health, safety, welfare and environmental issues, and help them understand their legal responsibilities relevant to their work activities. The SSSTS course also highlights the requirement to promote Health & Safety and to supervise effectively.

This course is part of the nationally recognised CITB Site Safety Plus scheme and is mandatory for all persons with supervisory responsibilities on BuildUK sites.

Fast-Track Site Safety Training for Busy Supervisors

For supervisors juggling multiple sites and tight deadlines, stepping away for long periods of training is not always realistic. Our SSSTS course is designed with that in mind, offering a focused and efficient way to strengthen site supervision without disrupting project progress.

Rather than being heavy on theory, the course concentrates on what actually matters on site. It gives supervisors practical, workable knowledge that can be applied immediately to improve supervision, communication and overall site control.

In many cases, issues on site do not start big. They develop gradually through small gaps in supervision or unclear expectations. This training helps address that by ensuring supervisors fully understand their responsibilities and apply standards consistently. The result is clearer communication, fewer avoidable issues, and stronger decision making across live projects.

Because the training is delivered in a structured and time-efficient format, it fits around busy workloads while still delivering real value. Supervisors who complete the course often notice

quick improvements in how their teams operate on site, particularly in maintaining safer, more controlled working environments.

Complete your SSSTS course with Prime Consultancy Group and gain practical supervision skills that help you reduce risk, improve performance, and manage site responsibilities with greater confidence.

This course is designed for current supervisors or those looking to move into a supervisory role, including first line managers, foremen, gangers and team leaders. It is an ideal foundation for obtaining a basic understanding of Health & Safety duties and responsibilities for junior management.

Over the two days, the course will advise delegates of the Health & Safety responsibilities they will acquire when supervising staff on a construction site, their legal duties and what will be expected of them.

As a fully accredited CITB training provider, topics covered during our course include:

  • Health and Safety law.
  • Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
  • Environmental awareness, pollution and waste management.
  • Hazardous substances.
  • Accident prevention and control.
  • Awareness of other regulations.
  • Approved codes of practice and guidance notes.
  • Work at height.
  • Demolition noise and vibration.
  • Occupational health.
  • Fire prevention and control.
  • Plant and equipment.
  • Managing contractors.
  • Electricity on sites.
  • Confined spaces.

By the end of the two days, delegates will be able to:

  • Understand problems within the construction industry.
  • Understanding of how Health & Safety law is structured and how it applies to Supervisors.
  • Identify how their supervisory role fits in with the management structure in controlling the site safely.
  • Carry out risk assessments and understanding the need for method statements.
  • Carry out effective site inductions, toolbox talks and task briefings.
  • Be able to monitor site activities effectively.
  • Understand the importance of timely intervention when bad practice is identified.

Throughout the course, our CITB-accredited instructor will monitor and assess exercises and individual participation. On day two of the course, all delegates will take a CITB multiple-choice questionnaire.

Upon successful completion of this course, a renewable, five-year CITB Site Supervision Safety Training certificate will be awarded to delegates. To renew their certificate, trainees will be required to attend our SSSTS Refresher training before their certificate expires.

Upon successful completion of this course and after gaining valuable site experience in a supervisory role, the natural progression would be the five-day Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) course.

Existing Site Managers, Agents, Surveyors and persons holding positions of managerial control should attend the five-day SMSTS course.
