A certificate of competence demonstrates that the successful candidate has experience, technical knowledge and ability, which have been independently and reliably assessed to the national standards. It also satisfies employers PUWER ’98 obligations that all operators should be adequately trained. Trained operators are more aware of personal and public safety issues. They also tend to be more efficient and have less downtime due to accidents, which in turn leads to lower repair costs.
These courses are designed to give operators the knowledge and understanding required to carry out:
• Health and Safety/Road Traffic/Environmental Regulations.
• Risk Assessments
• Principles of Operation
• Stability, Compatibility and fitting procedures
• Maintenance
• Operation of equipment
• Operational Tasks
• Practical Operations
• After use Checks
Who needs to be trained, and when?
Operator training and integrated assessment should be be undertaken by all who regularly use tractors and machinery for work purposes. All operators of all machines should take this training. These courses are not individual machine specific and cover all different machines of the same type.
Installation / Familiarisation training is non-assessed. It will identify to the operator the controls, pre start checks, starting & stopping procedures, adjustments and daily maintenance for individual machines. It is recommended that an operator training & assessment course be completed before the installation course. An operator should have familiarisation training on all tools and machines he has to use in the course of his duties.
NPTC "Certificate of Competence" Certification is an option for your experienced operators to gain the certification needed to comply with the Health and Safety regulations.
