Small Plant & Power Tool Safety

Our 2 days Small Plant & Power Tool Safety Train the Trainer course enables you to become an instructor delivering effective Small Plant & Power Tool safety training and tool box talks to employees, in relation to the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER 1998).

Please note - The training is not based on a practical demonstration of how to use the tool, it is based on training the trainer how to create a safe system of work/ method statement for the tools they are using. Therefore, it can cover all the tools they use, as it is theory.

If the trainer would like to bring a sample of the tools they use to the training, that can be useful. It is also helpful if we can have a list of the tools your team use, prior to attending.
