Weekend SMSTS Courses

Our weekend SMSTS courses are accredited by the CITB and can be undertaken at one of our six Training Centre’s in Central and South East England where new SMSTS courses start almost every weekend.

The Site management safety training scheme (SMSTS) is a five-day course designed for site managers, or aspiring site managers. It is designed for those with responsibility for managing, monitoring, implementing and reporting in a construction environment.

The course covers relevant health, safety and environmental legislation affecting 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 among the workforce.

There are no formal entry requirements, however, delegates should hold, or be about to hold, the role of a site manager. Previous health and safety knowledge is recommended. Those without previous health and safety management experience are recommended to sit the two-day SSSTS course. Delegates must be competent in written and spoken English necessary for operating efficiently at site management level.

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

Once successfully completed the certificate is valid for 5 years. In order to retain certification, it is necessary to complete the SMSTS refresher course prior to your certificate expiring.

All of our courses are all inclusive so there are no hidden extra charges i.e. books, exams, etc.

Site Safety Plus Scheme

The Site Safety Plus (SSP) scheme provides the construction industry with a suite of courses aimed at health and safety awareness and career development in order to maintain a safe workforce.

Here at Goldcross Training we offer the following courses that form part of the scheme:

• Health and Safety Awareness (HSA)
• Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS)
• Site Supervision Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) Refresher
• Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS)
• Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) Refresher

The courses are designed to give everyone from senior managers to operatives the skills they need to progress through the industry.  The starting point is a one-day Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) course, a qualification that underpins the issue of a CSCS Labourer Card, to the five-day Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS).  At Goldcross Training we aim to ensure that everyone benefits from the best possible training which is why we only use fully accredited and experienced instructors.
