Competence – Training

•Standard to Achieve

–You should have in place, and implement, training arrangements to ensure your employees have the skills and understanding necessary to discharge their duties as Contractors or Designers. You should have in place a programme for refresher training, eg a Continuing Professional Development programme or life long learning which will keep your employees updated on new developments and changes to legislation or good health and safety practice. This applies throughout the organisation- from Board or equivalent, to trainees.

•Examples of Evidence Required

–Headline training records

–Evidence of a H&S training culture including records, certificates of attendance and adequate H&S induction training for site based workforce.

–Evidence of an active CPD programme.

–Sample ‘tool box talks’.
