Why employers train for this

UK employers must make sure everyone who uses work equipment, and those who supervise them, gets adequate health and safety training (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, regulation 9). This course covers general principles. Practical instruction on your own equipment stays with the employer.
