Are you required to have SSTS if you are a site manager?
Are you required to have SSST if you are a site supervisor?
All construction industrys, Offshore, Renewables, windfarms
Is there a set legislation throughout all of these industrys for competent management & supervision?
All help is appreciated
regards
MrH&S

MrH&S As with any piece of legislation its doesnt specify the type, SSSTS and SMSTS are both forms that are more widely accepted.

Hi, not trying to hijack this but it would help if people used the full description when asking questions.
I doubt I have anything of use re SSTS or SSST because I don't recognise the acronym but you never know, I might. Also, useful for my own learning so please, what is SSTS and SSST?
Many Thanks,
Thick Jim

there is no legal requirement - however the construction industry and hse recognise both smsts and sssts as being part of the evidence of competence so............ you need them if you are going to work on large construction sites in the UK and it may be a contractual requirement but it is not a legal requirement... clear as mud

MrH&S - Like ExDeeps I didn't know what the initials in your subject heading meant and I guess that most other forum users outside the construction sector wouldn't know either. It's good advice for anyone posting on this forum not to rely on initials and acronyms alone unless they're widely known ones. If anyone's in doubt about what is widely known, it's best to give the words or titles in full followed by the initials or acronyms in brackets. After that, using the initials or acronyms is good for brevity and ease of reading.
Also, after seeing your riposte to ExDeeps I tried googling the two sets of initials in your thread headings: For SSTS I found 51 alternative suggestions, including subsurface sewage treatment system and Scandinavian Student Travel Service but none which seemed to be immediately relevant to OS&H. As for SSST, there were 37 suggestions including single stool sample test (furniture-related?) and Short Scottish Secure Tenancy (presumably 'Short' refers to tenancy duration rather than the height of the tenant!), but none which had clear OS&H connections! Thus, searching the internet does not necessarily provide reliable results, even if considerable and scarce time is spent on searches. :-(

Many Thanks,
Thick Jim Thanks Thick Jim I agree Too often we get people using acronyms and industry specific jargon on this forum which is frustrating. And no we don’t’ have time to Google the meaning especially if some of the acronyms can have more than one meaning depending on the industry and the location. Confused Pollack
