In construction, being a competent supervisor isn't just about delegation — it’s about ensuring safety, compliance, and smooth operations. The SSSTS (Site Supervisors’ Safety Training Scheme) is your stepping stone to doing exactly that.
At Target Zero Training, we offer both standard and refresher CITB SSSTS training courses, delivered online, classroom or blended. You’ll also have access to supportive Mock Tests to help you prepare with confidence.
What Is the SSSTS Course?
SSSTS is a two-day training programme developed by CITB to equip site supervisors with the knowledge to enforce and maintain health and safety practices on site.
Topics covered typically include:
- Legal responsibilities under UK health and safety law
- Risk assessment and hazard control
- Site induction, toolbox talks, and communication
- Accident causes, reporting, and investigation
- Environmental awareness and sustainability
- Supervisory leadership and influencing safety culture
SSSTS Refresher Course – Why & When You Need It
If you’re already SSSTS-certified, you’ll need to take the SSSTS Refresher before your certificate expires (typically every 5 years) to maintain validity.
Refresher courses reinforce your knowledge, introduce recent regulation changes, and help you stay sharp.
How to Pass SSSTS in 2025 — Tips & Best Practices
- Familiarise with legislation and best practices — The legal framework is essential to handling site issues.
- Use mock exams — Like our Mock Tests, they replicate real questions and conditions.
- Engage actively in discussions — The training is very interactive; participation helps retention.
- Read up in advance — Brush up on risk assessments, method statements, and site supervision topics.
- Ask questions — Use trainer expertise; doubt-clearing helps with understanding tricky rules.
