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 Newburgh book this

We've delivered Site Safety Training across Newburgh for 3-year refresher cycle. The pattern is consistent: competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. On-site delivery on your equipment, with refresher cycles planned into your operation, is the cure.
