What is the SSSTS Refresher Course?

Keeping Your Skills Sharp

The SSSTS Refresher course is a mandatory one-day training programme designed for individuals who have previously successfully completed the full two-day Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) course. Its primary purpose is to refresh and update your knowledge of health, safety, welfare, and environmental issues on construction sites, ensuring you remain compliant with the latest legislation and industry best practices.

Over this intensive one-day session, participants will revisit and update their understanding of key areas, including:

• Recent Legislative Changes: Updates to health and safety law, including the Health and Safety at Work Act and CDM Regulations, and their direct impact on supervisory roles.
• Current Best Practices: New and improved methods for managing common site hazards, conducting effective risk assessments, and implementing robust method statements.
• Industry Trends and Statistics: Awareness of current accident rates, common causes of incidents, and how supervisors can contribute to a safer industry.
• Welfare and Environmental Considerations: Re-examining responsibilities related to site welfare facilities and environmental protection.
• Communication and Leadership: Reinforcing the supervisor's role in effective site inductions, toolbox talks, and fostering a strong safety culture.
• Successful completion of the SSSTS Refresher course extends the validity of your SSSTS certificate for another five years, demonstrating your ongoing commitment to site safety and professional development. Without this refresher, your SSSTS qualification will expire, potentially impacting your ability to hold supervisory roles on construction sites.

Why Choose a Physical Classroom for Your SSSTS Refresher?

While online options exist for the SSSTS Refresher, opting for a physical classroom course often provides significant advantages for this crucial update:

Direct Expert Interaction: A classroom environment allows for immediate, face-to-face engagement with an experienced CITB-approved tutor. This direct access means you can ask questions in real-time, get instant clarification on complex legal updates, and discuss specific site scenarios, enhancing your understanding far beyond what self-paced online modules can offer.

Focused Learning, Fewer Distractions: Stepping into a dedicated learning space removes you from the potential distractions of home or the office. This concentrated environment allows for complete immersion in the course material, ensuring you absorb the critical updates and changes without interruption.

Collaborative Discussions: Learning alongside other supervisors offers a valuable opportunity to share experiences and insights. Discussing how new regulations might impact different types of projects or sites, and hearing diverse perspectives, can enrich your understanding and problem-solving skills in a way that independent online study cannot.

Reinforced Learning through Interaction: The one-day refresher is packed with vital updates. Classroom settings often facilitate interactive exercises, group discussions, and Q&A sessions that help solidify the information and ensure it is practically applicable to your role on site.

Accountability and Timely Renewal: A fixed classroom date provides a clear deadline and structure, encouraging you to complete your refresher before your certificate expires. This can be more effective than relying on self-motivation for an online course.

Optimal for All Learning Styles: While some thrive with online flexibility, many benefit significantly from the structured, visual, and auditory learning experience offered by a classroom. This is particularly true for those who prefer direct communication and a more traditional teaching method.

For supervisors who value an intensive, interactive, and fully immersive learning experience to refresh their critical safety knowledge, RISK's SSSTS Refresher courses in London's physical classrooms are the ideal choice. Ensure your competence remains current and your site remains safe.
