Ready for a break from all the politics?

With just two more sleeps until the election, all the politicians and media are going crazy. With Jeremy Corbyn calling for Theresa May to resign as Prime Minister over cuts to police numbers, last night the media was going mad over the car crash interview with Diane Abbott, this morning it’s the car crash interview with Boris Johnson – It’s all we are hearing about at the moment, politics, politics, politics… So if you’re ready for a break, you’ve come to the right place!

This weekend saw the Manchester One Love concert in aid of the Manchester terror attack. Which was a great gesture and an entertaining evening. Since the concert, drama has unfolded between the Gallagher brothers (again) and Piers Morgan has issued an APOLOGY to Ariana Grande (who would have ever thought Piers would have got it wrong?!).

This morning bosses have confirmed that the tiger that killed Rosa King, a keeper at a Cambridgeshire zoo, will not be put down. Rosa King was attacked by the animal at Hamerton Zoo on 29 May, after it entered an enclosure she was in.
The decision not to destroy the animal has been “fully supported” by her family.

Do you know which SSP Course will benifit you?

Do you know which health & safety training course will value you the most in your line of work? If not here is some information about our CITB (Construction Industry Training Board) courses and what they entail.

CITB Health & Safety Awareness

The Site Safety Plus Health and Safety Awareness course summaries a basic introduction to Health and Safety. For those who are just starting out in the construction industry or are very new to being on site, such as Labourers this course his highly suitable.

Usually, delegates who attend this course are aiming to obtain their CSCS Green card. The course is also needed for those who haven’t renewed their CSCS card since the changes in July 2014 when it became compulsory to attend the one day course in order to obtain your CSCS Card.

SSSTS

The Site Supervisors Safety Training Scheme (SSSTS) is a course that has been made-to-order to provide the relevant information for those who hold a supervisory role. If your position involves you managing staff, delegating roles and having hands on role with the work force, then SSSTS is the training course most suited to you.

The course will help you understand why certain rules are implemented and assigned to workers, and how you can ensure that everyone is aware of these rules and contributing to site safety.

SMSTS

The Site Management Safety Training Scheme (SMSTS) is a more extensive variation of the SSSTS training course. Then course provides  information on how to meet the increasing need for a high standard of health and safety management on site.

If your role involves overseeing the day to day running operations on site, recruiting a competent team and organising the set-up on site, then the SMSTS course is ideal for you. The course covers how you can responsibly manage the safety of your team as well as how to manage and prevent accidents.

SEATS

The Site Environmental Awareness Training Scheme (SEATS) qualification is ideal for anyone who works in a management or supervisory role on site. The course covers a basic level of the on-site environmental aspects and why looking after the environment is highly important.

Having knowledge on how to make sites environmentally friendly is looked upon favourably. Therefore, the SEATS qualification is always a beneficial certificate to have
