WHY THE NEED FOR TRAINING?

Train the Trainer Training by Walpole Training

TRAINING FOR THE WORKFORCE - THE LAW

The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 requires you to provide whatever information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety at work of your employees.

​

This is expanded by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, which identify situations where health and safety training is particularly important, eg when people start work, on exposure to new or increased risks and where existing skills may have become rusty or need updating.

HSE Safe use of work equipment - Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)

Regulation 9 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) state that "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".

​

It also states "You should ensure that self-propelled work equipment, including any attachments or towed equipment, is only driven by workers who have received appropriate training in the safe driving of such work equipment".
