It maintains a team of experienced, engaging individuals with ample amounts of experience in construction and health and safety, and provides businesses with the best solutions to improve, maintain and gain the required skills, qualifications and knowledge for health and safety for their workers and business.
In terms of its health and safety training services, the company offers training to help workers and employers meet statutory and industrial requirements. The courses are offered on an open course basis and can also be delivered in-house on a cost efficient day rate basis.
A few noteworthy courses for the construction industry are the CITB-Construction Skills Site Safety Plus, which includes the CITB SMSTS, CITB SSSTS and CITB Health and Safety Awareness course.
The SMSTS Course (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) was specifically created to assist site managers and potential site managers, to develop their knowledge, awareness and understanding of their legal, moral and social responsibilities in regards to health, safety and welfare on construction sites.
A highly respected qualification, the SMSTS course provides working professionals with the skills to responsibly manage construction activities. The course runs over a five day period and can be attended through one of the company’s open courses in customer’s local area and if a company has a larger number of attendees, then the course can be delivered in house.
In addition to the five day course, SensiblySafe also provides an SMSTS Refresher course. A two-day course, the SMSTS Refresher course is designed to refresh participants knowledge of site safety, health, welfare and the environment and is a highly interactive course comprised of case studies, classroom discussions, group work and individual/group representations. The SSSTS course (Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme) is a course for individuals who require site supervisor’s accountability and businesses providing services to construction or civil engineering sites. The course is designed with first line managers in mind, providing supervisory roles with the skills, knowledge and insight into the legal obligations for health and safety, welfare and environmental issues.
The CITB Health and Safety Awareness course is shorter in duration and is conducted over one day. Designed to provide workers in the construction and civil engineering industry with the understanding of the awareness and importance of health and safety in the daily production of their job roles, the course is the perfect stepping stone in preparation for the CITB health, safety and environment test or as refresher training.
Notably, this course is the first step in achieving a CSCS Labourers Card (Green Card) and CITB Site Safety Plus suite of courses that range from training for operatives into the industry up to Senior Manager/Director.
In terms of the company’s future plans, Scott stated that, “In the future we hope to gain more industry recognition for our services for the construction industry. We also plan to increase our client base and help them to gain high standards in health and safety for their workplace.”
