The Benefits of SSSTS Training Online

23 October 2024

In the ever-changing landscape of the construction industry, one thing remains constant: health and safety must always come first.

The Site Supervisors’ Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is a vital qualification for anyone responsible for supervising construction sites. Traditionally, SSSTS required two full days in a classroom—often meaning lost earnings, travel costs, and time away from site.

Today, there’s a smarter alternative.

Our 100% online SSSTS equivalent, Safe2Site Supervision Training (S2SST), gives busy professionals the flexibility to gain the same recognised qualification—without disrupting work or personal commitments.


What Does SSSTS Cover?

The SSSTS course provides comprehensive training on the legal and practical responsibilities of site supervisors, helping them create safe, compliant, and well-managed construction sites.

  • Health & Safety law and how it applies to supervisors
  • Supervisory responsibilities for controlling site safety
  • Risk assessments and method statements
  • Effective site inductions and toolbox talks
  • Method statement briefings
  • Monitoring site activities
  • Timely intervention when unsafe practices are identified


What Sets Safe2Site Supervision Training Apart?

Safe2Site Supervision Training (S2SST) was the first fully online SSSTS-equivalent course approved by CITB, ECS, and JIB.

You receive the same high-quality training and recognised qualification—without the hassle of classroom attendance.

No travel. No time off site. No delays.
