Can we use our own equipment?

We strongly recommend it. Training on your machines means the assessment evidences how your operators actually work.

Can you cohort operators with weaker English?

Yes — we adjust pace and use translated handouts where needed. Assessment is competence-based, not language-based.

How often is refresher training required?

Refresher cycles typically run every 3 years, sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.

Will this satisfy our insurer?

Yes — the accredited certificate plus evidence pack is the standard underwriters accept for the operator-competence renewal question.

Will a principal accept this for a construction site?

Yes — the certificate maps to the regs the principal's auditor cites, and we'll talk to the principal's HSE team directly if useful.

Why teams in Kintore book this

Kintore is built on site safety, and competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. On-site Site Safety Training is how we close that gap without pulling operators off the rota.

Kintore on the ground: AWPR-adjacent commuter and logistics belt with rail revival. Typical buildings: logistics warehouses, rail-adjacent compounds.

Typical site safety scenarios on Kintore sites

Scenario 1

Scenario 2
Permit-to-work issue and audit on a hot-works job near combustibles
Scenario 3
Multi-employer site coordination meeting under CDM 2015

Audit findings this prevents

Permits issued but never closed out — fails the simplest CDM audit
Site rules briefed verbally, never signed, no audit trail
Visiting contractors signed in but not inducted on site-specific risks
