Why You Need Training
Health and Safety legislation has never been more stringent and more employers
than ever are being held responsible for the actions of their employees. Recent
legislation such as the Working at Height regulations and the Control of Vibration
regulations are evidence of the authorities’ drive to put ever more impetus on
the employer to provide adequate training to all staff in areas where health and
safety is a concern. You have a responsibility to ensure that you and your employees
are trained and competent at their jobs.

With regard to plant operation, more customers and employers are demanding proof
of competence from all plant operators on their sites. The CPCS card proves to
your customers that your employees have both the skills and practical experience
to do the job effectively. In fact, many sites won’t let you operate plant on
site unless your employees carry the card.
The card scheme really benefits employers such as you too. It means you can be
sure that workers on your site have the qualifications and experience to do a
quality job. Your sites will be safer when everyone has an understanding of health
and safety issues.
