Site Management Safety Training Scheme Refresher
Description
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 of current, in date SMSTS certification at the time of booking.
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.
Delegates must be competent in written and spoken English necessary for operating efficiently at site management level.
Attendance and Duration
This is a two-day course. Delegates are required to complete the full course (15 hours) to be eligible for certification. 
It is a requirement of the awarding body CITB that delegates must bring photographic ID on the day of the course. Where identification is not provided, attendance will be refused.
Aims and Objectives 
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.
Assessment
Successful completion of the course requires the delegate to pass an exam paper at the end of the course. The paper consists of 25 questions, selected by CITB, covering all aspects of the course. 
Each paper has:
  • 18 multiple choice questions 
  • 7 questions in multi-response or short written answer format 
Certification
On successful completion of the end of course examination delegates will receive a CITB SMSTS certificate which is valid for 5 years. To remain certified in this area, delegates will need to take the CITB SMSTS Refresher course before the expiry date on the certificate, otherwise the full course will need to be retaken.
