This course lasts for five days (40h), which can be run over five consecutive days, one day per week over five weeks or split over two weeks for maximum flexibility.

This course covers all relevant occupational health and safety legislation and other aspects which affect safe working in the construction and civil engineering industries.

Successful delegates will receive a renewable, five-year CITB Site Management Safety Training certificate.

Trainees will need to take the SMSTS Refresher course before the certificate expires to renew it. Otherwise, they will need to take the full SMSTS course again.
