Audit findings this prevents

  • Wrong wheel on the wrong machine — RPM mismatch is the #1 burst-wheel cause
  • Guards removed 'for the awkward cut' and never refitted
  • No ring-test or storage discipline — moisture-damaged wheels then run at full speed

FAQs

What evidence do you return?
Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.
Do you do follow-up observation visits?
Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.
Can you cover night or weekend shifts?
Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.
What if we need to rebook?
We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.
Is this course right for site teams?
It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.
