Description
Overview
The SMSTS Refresher Course is a mandatory two-day CITB-approved renewal programme for site managers whose Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) certificate is approaching expiry.
This refresher course ensures that site managers remain legally compliant, up to date with the latest health and safety legislation, current Health and Safety Executive (HSE) enforcement priorities, and recognised best practices in construction safety management.
The course allows delegates to renew their SMSTS certificate without retaking the full five-day course, saving both time and cost while maintaining professional competence.
What Is the SMSTS Refresher Course?
The SMSTS Refresher Course is designed to update and reinforce the knowledge gained during the full SMSTS course. It focuses on legislative changes, evolving industry standards, and practical approaches to managing health, safety, welfare, and environmental risks on construction sites.
Successful completion renews the SMSTS certificate for a further five years, enabling managers to continue working in senior site management roles.
