Course overview

CITB SSSTS Course Online

The CITB Site Safety Plus Two Day Site Supervisors’ Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) course is designed to provide site supervisors with an understanding of their health and safety responsibilities, and the ways in which they can develop a positive safety culture amongst their workers. This CITB SSSTS online course is a CITB accredited qualification and is a mix of classroom-based teaching, and practical exercises.

The SSSTS course is delivered online through Zoom and is a fully accredited qualification. You receive the same certificate as you would get in a classroom course.

Why Should I Do This SSSTS Online Course?

The SSSTS course is now required by most major contractors and construction sites for anyone who supervises construction site workers in the UK. If you want to become a supervisor or are already a supervisor, this is the course for you.

This two-day course introduces site supervisors to their legal responsibilities regarding health, safety, welfare, and environmental issues. It is ideal for anyone looking to take a supervisory role within the construction industry.

Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme Refresher Course (SSSTS-R)

If you have already completed the SSSTS course and need to renew your certificate, we offer the SSSTS refresher course.

Re-sits Procedure

As permitted by CITB where a delegate has achieved 70% in the exercise and the trainer’s review, and gained between 70%-77% (21, 22 or 23 out of 30) in the examination or has achieved the 80% pass rate but failed the safety-critical questions, the delegate may re-sit the examination. This can either be on the same day or be resitting the exam by attending another course on the final day within a 90 day period (the delegate is not obliged to re-do the day’s course).

When a delegate scores less than 67% (20 correct answers out of 30) in the final examination, the delegate must attend the full SSSTS course again before they are allowed to re-sit the examination.

Site Safety Plus (SSP) courses

Site Safety Plus is a comprehensive course program aimed at building, engineering, and related professions. The training program provides the skills needed by the Construction industry ranging from the 1 - day safety training course to the 5- day safety management training programme.
