What Is the SSSTS Course?
The SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) is a CITB-accredited two-day course designed for anyone taking on a supervisory role in the construction industry. It’s a legal requirement on many UK sites and ensures that those in charge of teams understand their responsibilities around safety, health, and environmental standards.
This course is essential for:
- First-time supervisors and team leaders
- Operatives progressing into site management
- Experienced workers who need formal qualification
- Companies improving site-wide safety standards

During the course, you’ll gain practical knowledge and tools to confidently supervise on-site work while promoting a culture of health and safety. Topics include:
- Legal duties and responsibilities of a supervisor
- Site inductions and toolbox talks
- Risk assessments and method statements
- Working at height, PPE, and fire safety
- Accident and incident reporting
- Behavioural safety and leadership
