CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS)

What’s involved? 

The CITB Site Safety Plus Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) health and safety course is one of the most highly regarded training courses within the construction industry. The SMSTS training course helps 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 industry recognised SMSTS training course is ideal for companies that need to meet the ever increasing demand for evidence of health and safety compliance.

The training course is intended for project managers, site managers and site supervisors as well as proprietors of small to medium sized companies. Client-based personnel would also benefit from attending the SMSTS training course. Possession of the CITB SMSTS qualification is listed in the Approved Code of Practice for the construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations as a demonstration of competence in the role of site manager.
