SMSTS (CITB) Refresher – Site Management Training – Online Classroom

The Site management safety training scheme – Refresher (SMSTS-R) is a two-day course for delegates who have previously passed the full Site management safety training scheme (SMSTS) course or subsequent refresher course, and can provide proof of attendance.

It aims to bring health and safety knowledge up-to-date, as well as giving a thorough overview of the legislative changes and their impact in the workplace. The course provides an opportunity to revisit the wide range of topics from the previous five-day course.

 

Who should attend

The refresher course is only for delegates who have previously passed the five-day SMSTS or subsequent refresher course, and hold a valid SMSTS certificate. Evidence must be provided to the training provider of their eligibility.

If a delegate cannot provide a copy of their certificate, the online card checker can be used to establish if a delegate currently holds a valid SMSTS certificate.

If an individual cannot be located on the system and no evidence of their certificate can be found, they will have to attend the full SMSTS course.

Failure to attend the refresher course prior to the expiry of an existing certificate will require delegates to re-enter the scheme by completing the full SMSTS course if they wish to remain in the scheme.

 

Aims

The refresher course aims to help site managers to:

- improve awareness of recent developments in construction, legislation and health, safety, welfare and environmental issues

- identify measures that will assist the practical implementation of responsibilities established by new legislation and working practices

- implement new guidance and industry best practice

- consolidate their understanding of responsibility and accountability for site health, safety, welfare and the environment.

 

Certification

The paper consists of 25 questions, selected by CITB, covering all aspects of the course. The exam paper must be taken at the end of the course.

Each paper has:

- 18 multiple choice questions (each worth one mark)

- 7 questions in multi-response or short written answer format (each worth two marks)

 The two mark questions all relate to the seven health and safety focus areas. The higher marks recognise and reward the increased complexity of the question and response required.
