At PCR Global we recognise the convenience that Virtual Classroom learning brings to both businesses and individuals. Whether this is your first SMSTS, or you’re refreshing your qualification with us, you will be able to study from the comfort of your own home/office and access a great deal more content than what is typically available for this course.

We hope to utilise this experience to maximise the benefit of yours.

The popularity of Virtual Classroom learning has undoubtedly gained amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, with very many countries instigating nation-wide lock-downs.

To provide the best possible learning experience, that can continue to assist you both between and beyond online classroom sessions, we’ve developed this Learning Zone to allow you access to relevant information, support materials and an easy link to access the support of our risk management professionals.

We hope you find it beneficial!


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.
