This two-day CITB Site Management Safety Training Scheme Refresher course is designed to update and reinforce the knowledge gained during the full SMSTS course.

It ensures experienced site managers remain informed about changes to legislation, industry guidance and accepted working practices while revisiting their responsibilities for managing health, safety, welfare and environmental matters on construction sites.

Course Aim
