PLANT OPERATOR TRAINING Background: Under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 employers are obliged to ensure that individuals engaged in plant operations have received adequate training for the equipment they are to operate and detailed records of such training are maintained. The type and duration of training will vary depending on the complexity of the equipment, experience of the operator and the tasks to be preformed. Training will take place on-site at company premises using the plant/equipment the operator would be required to use. Courses will consist of both theory and practical training, the instructor will be fully equipped (as appropriate) with videos, DVD , flip charts etc and will supply the operator with a reference manual specific to the classification of the plant/equipment to be used. If the plant/equipment is required in anyway to lift, the course will also incorporate the Lifting Operations Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998. Dress & Equipment: For the practical training you are to provide your own safety boots/shoes to include ‘toe tectors' (steel toe cap footwear), hard-hat, high visibility vest and gloves.
