Introduction

Who is the ‘SMSTS’ for?

The Site Management Safety Training Scheme is designed for those who have, or are about to acquire, managerial responsibilities.

It covers all relevant legislation affecting safe working in the building, construction and civil engineering industries. It highlights the need for the assessment of risk in the workplace, the implementation of the necessary control measures and adequate communication to sustain a health and safety culture within the workforce.

This course is endorsed by Build UK as the standard training for all construction managers.

NOTE: This may not be the first time you’ve completed an SMSTS qualification. A requirement to maintain your SMSTS certificate is to sit a refresher course every 5 years. Although the course is shorter (2 days total), the course content remains the same.

Most importantly, the assessments are the same, meaning you need to be familiar with the content.
