Plant Operator Testing
We deliver plant operator training and testing under the Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) and the National Plant Operators Registration Scheme (NPORS).
Plant operators should hold industry recognised qualifications, especially when working with major contractors and house builders. Depending on your requirements, CPCS or NPORS testing ensures that your operators have met the required standard for safe and efficient equipment operation, in line with the latest legislation.
“Every employer shall ensure that all persons who use work equipment have received adequate training for the 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.
Every employer shall ensure that any of his employees who supervise or manages the use of work equipment has received adequate training for the 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. ”
