SMSTS Courses in the UK
The SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) is a safety training programme designed for managerial staff responsible for overseeing a workplace or construction site. It is ideal for those who are already in, or considering, roles that involve planning, organising, monitoring, controlling, and supervising teams of workers, such as site managers.

The qualification remains valid for three years before renewal is required.

SMSTS Course Overview and Structure
Although the Polish introduction mentions a 1-day programme (focusing specifically on fire safety procedures, using extinguishers correctly, and evacuation protocols), we also provide a broader SMSTS pathway that expands on managerial responsibilities. Depending on your exact needs, our offerings can include:
-
Key Regulations and Responsibilities
Learn how legislation such as the Health and Safety at Work Act and relevant fire and evacuation protocols apply to your role. We’ll also discuss how to stay compliant over time. -
Risk Assessment
Discover ways to spot potential hazards—like faulty equipment or unsafe working practices—before they become real problems. This goes hand in hand with creating effective evacuation plans and ensuring you and your team know them inside out. -
Fire Safety and Emergency Procedures
Building on the core one-day training, we explore how to respond quickly and effectively if a fire breaks out. Understand best practices for using different types of extinguishers and making sure they’re properly maintained. -
Ongoing Management and Control
From organising daily tasks to monitoring staff performance, you’ll gain insights into how to keep a site (or facility) running smoothly without compromising safety.
Depending on your location, we offer different course durations, including condensed formats for specific requirements. Either way, the certificate remains valid for up to three years before renewal is needed.
