SMSTS Training For The Construction Industry

By Ade Lewis


Anyone with experience in the building industry will know that it is a potentially dangerous area of work. It is imperative that health and safety guidelines and regulations are followed to run a site safely and effectively.

Employers have a obligation to ensure that staff are not endangered unnecessarily at work.

Strict penalties and improvement notices can be enforced on employers who have failed to comply with health and safety regulations. The best way for your business to be totally compliant with the most recent standards required is to send their site managers and supervisors on a Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) course.

SMSTS training is essential for construction industry professionals. Candidates receive extensive training in relation to health and safety awareness and the right techniques to set up and manage a construction site. The course explores risk management in depth and improves delegates awareness of health and safety.

Although the SMSTS training is designed for current supervisors and managers, it would be extremely useful experience for individuals working towards a site manager role.

SMSTS courses are usually carried out over a period of five working days. Many businesses are concerned about the impact of losing members of staff for five working days but SMSTS training pays for itself as it increases productivity and efficiency in the workplace.

Individuals are assessed continually throughout the 5 day training through a mixture of written and oral questioning and practical observation. Candidates will be required to achieve certain percentage scores to pass the on going assessments. Additionally, at the close of the course, candidates will be required to sit an exam.

Those candidates who pass the course successfully will be awarded with a CITB qualification. To renew their qualification candidates can sit a two day refresher course. The refresher training is only for professionals who have previously gained a qualification through SMSTS training.

There are regular changes in the information required in the construction industry because of the development of new technology and improvement of procedures and practices. Whilst there will be a number of elements that remain the same, course preparation is advised.
