Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) - Refresher Course

The 2-day SMSTS Refresher course is for delegates who have previously passed the full 5-day Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) course within the last five years 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 includes a wide range of topics, many building on the previous five-day course programme, as well as introducing new subjects.

Pre-requisites

Delegates must have passed the full SMSTS course within five years of their refresher course start date to be eligible. If you need to do the full course, please see the full 5-day SMSTS Course.
