The Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS)

[BigSi]

Was thinking about doing this course later this year, and was wondering if anybody had done the course and what their views were. Been asked a few times if I had done the course while subbing to large M&E companies.

its just a pointless yet expensive ticket to say you can sit in a site cabin filling in tedious method statements.
any agency asking for this just for an "on the tools" spark is full of sh*t basically.

another low calorie apparatif for the UK H&S machine ;-)

Did the Site Managers Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) course last Oct (2012). Interesting course that covered all the general stuff around CDM etc ..... from a management prospective. Never done the Supervisors Course but if it is anything like the SMSTS then I would recommend it if you get the chance. If nothing else it will refresh your knowledge and also add another "tick" on your C.V.!

I did it 2 years back, £400.
Any supervisor ads I see now want the 5 day course, SMSTS and 3 day first aid, sigh!

Did the course last year, very useful, the guy sitting next to me was shaking like a leaf when it came to the toolbox talk!

If I was you I would do the SMSTS as it could open more doors than the SSSTS.
