Keeping your Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) qualification up to date is essential for anyone working in construction or civil engineering. At HighAimsTraining, our SSSTS refresher course ensures supervisors stay compliant with the latest health and safety legislation, site management best practices, and risk assessment procedures. This one-day, CITB-accredited course is designed to renew your SSSTS certificate, refresh your skills, and enhance your confidence on site, helping you continue to manage teams safely and effectively.
Why Take an SSSTS Refresher Course
If you’re a site supervisor, keeping your SSSTS qualification up to date is essential for legal compliance and workplace safety. The SSSTS refresher course is a one-day CITB-accredited training designed for supervisors who already hold a valid SSSTS certificate. By completing this course, you can renew your certification for another five years while learning the latest health and safety updates, best practices, and supervisory skills required for modern construction sites. At HighAimsTraining, our SSSTS refresher courses are available online, in-person, or in-house for businesses, ensuring minimal disruption to your work schedule while maintaining full compliance.
Who Should Attend the SSSTS Refresher Course
The SSSTS refresher course is specifically designed for site supervisors and first-line managers holding a valid SSSTS certificate. It is ideal for individuals whose current certificate is nearing expiry or supervisors seeking to update their knowledge with the latest legislation and site safety practices. If you have not completed the full SSSTS course previously, you must first enrol in the standard two-day SSSTS programme before attending the refresher.
