Site Safety Plus Scheme & the SMSTS Course
The SMSTS course is only one of the courses provided as part of the Site Safety Plus (SSP) scheme. These courses provide the construction industry with a suite of courses aimed at health and safety on construction sites and ongoing career development in order to maintain a safe workforce.

SSP Course Design
The courses are designed to give everyone from senior managers to operatives the skills they need to progress through the industry. The starting point is a one-day Health and Safety Awareness (HSA) course, a qualification that underpins the issue of a CSCS Labourer Card, to the five-day Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS). At Tudar Skills Training we aim to ensure that everyone benefits from the best possible training which is why we only use fully accredited and experienced instructors.
