FAQs
How long does the SSSTS course take?
The SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) course lasts for 2 days.
Who is the in-person course for?
While the online SSSTS course is highly popular for its convenience, the in-person classroom format is specifically recommended for certain candidates, including:
New or Aspiring Supervisors: If you’re transitioning from a trade role to your first management position, the classroom environment allows you to ask immediate questions and engage in face-to-face role-playing scenarios regarding site safety and leadership.
Individuals Who Prefer Hands-on Learning: Construction is a practical industry. Many find that physical group activities- such as reviewing a physical site layout or participating in group risk assessment workshops- really help the regulations stick.
What does the SSSTS training cover?
The course provides a comprehensive foundation in site safety management, focusing on the following core areas:
Legal & Regulatory Framework: Understanding health and safety laws and a supervisor’s specific legal responsibilities.
Risk Control: Mastering risk assessments, method statements, and proactive accident prevention.
Operational Safety: Training in reporting procedures, environmental awareness, and site-wide safety best practices.
Leadership: Developing effective site supervision and behavioural safety techniques to ensure team compliance.
How long is the certificate valid?
The SSSTS certificate remains valid for five years. To stay qualified, you must complete a 1-day SSSTS Refresher course before your current certificate expires. View our SSSTS Refresher courses near you.
If you allow your certification to lapse, you will be required to retake the full 2-day course to regain your credentials. We recommend booking your refresher at least six months early to ensure continuous compliance and avoid site access issues.
