SSSTS REFRESHER
Introduction
The SSSTS Refresher (Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme Refresher), also known by the industry as ‘SSSTS-R’, is a one day course. This refresher is for those who already hold and in-date SSSTS qualification.
The SSSTS Refresher condenses the content of the SSSTS from 2 days into 1, making it the preferred re-qualification method for almost all employers.
As with the 2 Day SSSTS, this condensed version covers all relevant legislation effecting safe working in the building, construction and civil engineering industries. It highlights the need for risk assessment 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.
