“The trainer kept the course flowing and got everyone involved & kept it interesting.”
The CITB SMSTS Course is a comprehensive five-day training programme that focuses on the principles of effective site management and health and safety leadership within construction. It provides a deep understanding of how safety, welfare, and environmental responsibilities are integrated into everyday site operations.
The course emphasises the importance of creating a proactive health and safety culture, ensuring that risks are properly managed and that legal requirements are consistently met. Through practical discussion and real-world examples, it helps participants recognise how management decisions directly impact safety standards on site.
By completing the CITB SMSTS Course, learners gain the insight and confidence needed to lead by example, promote best practice, and maintain high levels of compliance across their projects.
