Safety & Access has added CITB Site Safety Plus (SSP) courses to its training portfolio, extending its offer to include site safety and management qualifications.

The courses now available are:

  • Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS)
  • SMSTS Refresher
  • Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS)
  • SSSTS Refresher
  • Health & Safety Awareness (HSA)

Training is available for individual learners and employer groups, including on-site delivery.

The expansion means Safety & Access can now deliver training for operatives, supervisors and site managers, alongside its existing scaffolding courses.

The company already provides scaffolding-related training, including CISRS programmes. The addition of CITB courses brings formal site safety and supervisory training into the same portfolio.

CITB Site Safety Plus courses are widely required across the construction industry and are commonly specified by principal contractors for workers with supervisory or management responsibilities. The training covers legal duties, risk management and site supervision.

The courses support compliance with the Health & Safety at Work Act and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, as well as contractor and client competency requirements.

Falls from height remain one of the leading causes of serious injury in construction, particularly on projects involving scaffolding. Site safety training is often used alongside trade qualifications to address these risks.

All CITB courses are delivered by trainers with construction and safety experience and are provided in line with CITB requirements.

With the addition of the Site Safety Plus courses, Safety & Access now offers both scaffolding trade training and site safety qualifications through the same provider.
