Our SMSTS Refresher - Site Manager Safety Training Scheme provides
delegates who have previously passed their SMSTS course with up-to-date training
on all relevant legislation and ensures the continued effective management of
health and safety within the building, construction and civil engineering
industries within the context of the delegate's management role.
This course reinforces each delegate’s understanding of
their roles, responsibilities and accountability for health, safety and welfare,
and reorients their recognition of site efficiency and productivity. It also
highlights the need for risk assessment in the workplace, the implementation of
the necessary control measures, and adequate communication needed to sustain a robust
health and safety culture among the workforce.
Please note that the course price includes a same day resit,
in the event that delegates do not correctly answer one of the five safety
critical questions. This course consists of several training room lectures, presentations,
and a multiple-choice examination.
