On-site advantages
If it’s possible and practicable, when it comes to access equipment it makes sense for employers to train their operators on the actual equipment they’re going to be using, in the place they’re going to be using it, asserts Richard Shore, MD of Mentor Training Solutions (MTS).
According to Shore on-site training is more relevant and operators become more comfortable and competent quicker: working on-site, delegates should already be aware of any site-specific safety procedures, hazards and restrictions.
In addition, he training covers not only the equipment but the place and application they’re going to be using it in. By utilising the regular working environment and equipment, training can be tailored to site-specific tasks and applications. Delegates will be taught the full operating requirements and limitations of their own machine and can practice operating relevant to their own procedures.
