Award in site supervisor safety training

The course aims to ensure that all those given supervisory responsibilities understand:

• why they are carrying out their identified duties
• what is expected of them and
• to ensure that they contribute to the safety of the workplace.

At the end of the course delegates will be able to:

• understand the problems of the industry
• have an understanding of how health and safety law is structured and how it applies to supervisors
• identify how their supervisory role fits in with the management structure in controlling the site safely
• carry out risk assessments and understand the need for method statements
• carry out effective site inductions, toolbox talks and method statement briefings
• be able to monitor site activities effectively
• understand the importance of timely intervention when bad practice is identified

Assessment
The method of assessment will be by multiple-choice questions at the end of the course as well as being expected to be interactive during the course.
Course attendance Delegates are required to attend both sessions, since without full attendance and achievement in the examination the Construction Site Supervisors’ Safety Certificate cannot be made.
Delegates must attend the days in order. Delegates unable to attend both days due to extenuating circumstances (e.g. certificated sickness) will need to enrol onto a new course in order to maintain continuity of learning outcomes and attend both days again.

This course is an ideal foundation for obtaining a basic understanding of health and safety duties and responsibilities for junior management, and upon successful completion of this course, a natural progression would be the Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) course.
