Concept to Risk to Memory to Check-up

How to prepare for SSSTS

Connect each duty and hazard to the supervisor's workface sequence: check the task and RAMS, brief the team, establish controls, observe and intervene, then report and learn.

Core concepts

Concept 1

First-aid needs depend on workforce, work hazards, location, shifts and access to external emergency services.

Exam cue: Start from credible emergencies for the actual task and location.

Concept 2

Plans must cover alarm, communication, evacuation or rescue, assembly, accountability and liaison.

Exam cue: Check who raises the alarm, who leads and who calls external help.

Concept 3

Supervisors verify that people, equipment and routes remain available as the site changes.

Exam cue: Test routes, information and equipment rather than relying on a poster.
