The 2- day SSSTS( Site administrators Safety Training Scheme) training course is one of the courses that form part of the CITB point Safety Plus range of courses and is available via a network of CITB accredited providers. It’s aimed at platoon leaders, heads, gangers, first-line directors, and administrators with administrative liabilities and a need to understand their legal duties.

Also known informally as the ‘ Site Supervisor Course ’, the training given is aimed to ensure campaigners gain a thorough understanding of their legal liabilities, and as similar can more contribute to the instruction, supervision, and monitoring of safety on point.
Successful Campaigners will admit a CITB point Safety Plus instrument, which is issued upon completion. This is valid 5 times. Please note that there’s no physical ‘ SSSTS Card ’, still, you can list your point Safety Plus instrument qualification when applying for further qualifications.

If you have already passed the 2-day CITB SSSTS course and need to renew your CITB certificate, you will be eligible for the 1-day SSSTS refresher, providing your certificate is still in date and valid.

There is no longer a six-month grace period for expired certificates; if you know that your SSSTS certificate is due to expire, you must undertake and successfully complete an SSSTS Refresher course to remain up-to-date and legal whilst working onsite.

The 1-day SSSTS Refresher course is designed to ensure those in a supervisory capacity are fully up to date with any legal changes, as well as how they affect site operations.
