    If you’re working in construction management or aspire to lead on-site operations, SMSTS training (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) is one of the most recognised and respected qualifications you can achieve. Delivered by the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), this course ensures that site managers understand their legal responsibilities and can maintain safe working environments for their teams.

    What Is SMSTS Training?

    The CITB SMSTS course is a five-day training programme designed for site managers, supervisors, and anyone responsible for overseeing construction site safety. It focuses on leadership, risk assessment, health and safety law, and best practice for site management.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Manage and monitor site safety effectively
    • Implement health and safety legislation
    • Create method statements and risk assessments
    • Control site hazards and emergencies
    • Build stronger communication between teams

    Who Should Take This Course?

    The SMSTS course is ideal for:

    • Site managers and supervisors
    • Project managers and foremen
    • Anyone responsible for health and safety on-site

    It’s also suitable if you plan to progress into leadership roles within construction and want to demonstrate your competence under the CDM Regulations.

    What to Expect During the SMSTS Course

    The course blends theory with practical case studies, covering:

    • Health and Safety at Work Act
    • CDM Regulations 2015
    • Site set-up and welfare
    • Environmental management
    • Behavioural safety and leadership

    Participants will complete exercises, discussions, and an exam on the final day.

    How Long Does the SMSTS Certificate Last?

    Your SMSTS certificate is valid for five years. To remain compliant, you must complete the SMSTS Refresher Course before your qualification expires.

    How to Prepare for the SMSTS Exam

    To help you prepare, we’ve created a free online Mock Test where you can practise the types of questions you’ll face during your assessment. It’s the easiest way to test your knowledge and improve your confidence before taking the course.
