What's the point of training?

​We often get asked “What’s the point of training?” 
 
Investing in proper training isn’t just good practice - it’s essential for safety, compliance, and professionalism.
 
Lantra training plays a vital role in helping businesses and operators meet their legal responsibilities when using work equipment.
 
Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), employers must ensure that anyone using work equipment is properly trained. In particular, Regulation 9 states that all persons who use work equipment must receive adequate training for the purposes of health and safety, including training in methods of use, risks involved, and precautions to be taken.
 
That’s where Lantra training makes the difference.
 
Lantra-accredited courses:
✅ Provide structured, industry-recognised training
✅ Instils effective and efficient methods of working, saving you money and time      ✅ Demonstrate competence and due diligence
✅ Help employers meet PUWER Regulation 9 requirements
✅ Reduce risk of accidents and costly enforcement action
✅ Promote a strong safety culture within your business
 
In high-risk sectors such as agriculture, forestry, landscaping, and groundcare, the consequences of inadequate training can be severe, both legally and financially.
 
Choosing Lantra training isn’t just about gaining a certificate. It’s about protecting your workforce, your business, and your professional reputation.
 
Safety isn’t optional. Competence is key.
