INTRODUCTION

As part of our certificated operator machine courses we offer training on portable power tools. Courses are aimed at employers and businesses with staff operating power hand tools including pneumatic, mains electrical or battery operated.

Each course is tailored to individual requirements based on the number and experience of learners (novice or experienced) and the equipment types.

WHAT ARE THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR TRAINING?

Operator training is essential. The law, as set out in the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER98) states that all persons who operate equipment must receive adequate training and assessment to ensure they are competent to operate safely. This includes ensuring they have the correct skills, knowledge, experience, risk awareness, and are physically suited to the task.

Regulation 9 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (1) Every employer shall ensure that all persons who use work equipment have received adequate training for purposes of health and safety, including training in the methods which may be adopted when using the work equipment, any risks which such use may entail and precautions to be taken.
