Safety Trained Supervisor

UL works with global engineering and construction companies to ensure compliance with regulatory and corporate safety priorities. An essential element of our safety and compliance solution is a specialized program to train and certify Safety Trained Supervisors (STS).

Our STS certification program helps engineering and construction companies improve both safety and compliance on-site. STS certification is accredited by the national Commission for Certifying Agencies. The US Occupational Safety and Hygiene Administration (OSHA) recognizes the STS-Construction credential and considers the program a factor when determining which sites to inspect.

The STS program provides front-line supervisors with targeted safety training, enabling them to oversee employees and subcontractors on site, establish a safer workplace and promote regulatory compliance. STSs have enabled companies to reduce their reportable incidents rate, minimize injuries and accidents, lower insurance and medical costs, and instill confidence in their clients that all precautions have been taken to protect workers and prevent accidents.

Benefits of STS Certification:

• Web-based courses can be taken anytime, anywhere;
• Engaging interactions make the content compelling;
• Increase supervisors’ safety awareness;
• Ensure regulatory compliance;
• Improve performance on the job;
• Reduce workers’ comp claims;
• Reduce insurance premiums;
• Supervisors create an effective safety culture.
