The Major Contractors Group (MCG) has
announced that, following a review identifying
Supervisor Health & Safety training as an
operational priority, all supervisors on their sites
must attend ConstructionSkills’ Supervisors Safety
Training Scheme as part of their commitment to
Health and Safety training.
The MCG said the decision demonstrated that
supervisory Health and Safety training is an area to
which industry must turn its attention.
With the MCG representing the UK’s largest
construction companies, this is a significant move
for the sector. It is estimated that, as a result of
this commitment to a safer workforce, thousands of
supervisors will receive health and safety training
from ConstructionSkills by 2010.
The two-day Site Supervisors’ Safety Training Scheme
(SSSTS), which is part of the ConstructionSkills’
Site Safety Plus (SSP) suite of courses, provides an
introduction to health and safety, welfare and
environmental issues for those requiring an
understanding of the current legislation that
applies to them and their work activities.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Delegates will be able to:
Carry out risk assessments and understand the need
for method statements
Carry out effective site inductions, toolbox talks
and method statement briefings
Understanding of how health and safety law is
structured and how it applies to supervisors
Be able to monitor site activities effectively
Understand the importance of timely and appropriate
intervention when bad practice is identified.
