SMSTS Training – Introducing Industry Recognised CITB SMSTS Courses

The Site Management Safety Training Scheme, or the SMSTS course, is a 5 day course provided by tutors to over ten thousand people each year. This course is ideal for those in any role of responsibility within the construction industry, or for anyone looking to become a site manager in the future. This course is strongly regarded as one of the best ones available and provides you with a thorough health and safety training background within the current legal guidelines.

 Construction site managers and supervisors have a legal duty to ensure the health and safety of their fellow workers and the public. Not only are there laws and regulations to adhere to, there is a moral duty to do all that is possible to prevent accidents and injuries onsite. Therefore proper training is a necessity and a requirement. Attending SMSTS courses can show you comply with the laws and prepare you to manage a safe site at all times.
