Objective
The CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) is one of the most highly regarded courses within the construction industry available for site managers and supervisors, taken by more than 10,000 people each year.
The course helps site managers (and anyone wanting to become a site manager) to develop a better understanding of the legal, moral and social responsibilities of their role, and to manage health and safety on site in accordance with current legal provisions.
The course lasts five days. During the course, candidates must pass core exercises. At the end of the training, candidates sit an examination in order to qualify for the certificate.
The certificate lasts five years, after which candidates must sit the ‘Two Day Refresher Course’ to renew the certificate and keep their qualification up to date. The Two Day Refresher Course is only available for candidates who have attended the five-day course and can provide evidence of attending the original course.
