Managers and Supervisors in the UK construction Industry attend a 5-day Course SMSTS (Site Managers Safety Training Scheme). Keen to hear your views on 2 questions

  1. Why is the construction industry not doing/promoting the IOSH SHECSM course instead?- (Safety, Health and Environment for Construction Site Managers).
  2. Are there any disadvantages of taking IOSH SHECSM instead of CITB’s SMSTS Course

Any thoughts?

 

I believe IOSH SHECSM is much better for the following reasons:

  1. The IOSH SHECSM is approved by Build UK
  2. IOSH is recognised worldwide, CITB is only in UK
  3. IOSH is 4 days (plus assessment), SMSTS is 5 days.
  4. The book for IOSH is £15 (if over 250 its £12). CITB £106.50 (delegates book £27.00 plus GE700 £79.50) 
  5. IOSH certificates is £20, CITB Certs are £37.5

1) Because CITB is the national training body funded by the training levy

2) PQQs often refer to qualifications from the CITB list rather than what is more widely available
