What are the Benefits to Contractors?
There are many compelling reasons why contractors should have their operators complete a KOR Nationally Accredited Training course. These include:
- Compliant with regulatory requirements as these courses are nationally recognised and align with required standards, contractors remain with industry/regulatory requirements, so this reduces legal or safety risks
- Real-world, job-relevant skills as the training is tailored to actual applications tasks and equipment use rather than just theory.
- Improved safety and reduced risk as operators are trained correctly on real equipment with the most recent safety practices, there is less likelihood of accidents, near misses or equipment misuse – important in high-risk sectors.
- Operator efficiency through less downtime and fewer mistakes as skilled, competent operators mean tasks are done correctly and efficiently, therefore reducing mistakes, rework or equipment breakdowns.
- Flexibility and less disruption to work by having online components and practical assessments onsite downtime and disruption is reduced
- Professionalism and employee value as Contractors, formally training operators can contribute to a professional culture and safer workplace while employees feel more confident, competent and professional by doing accredited training.
- Competency documentation means you are audit-ready once the training is completed
Operator Refresher Course
KOR also offers refresher training on high pressure water jetting operations, to ensure operators remain confident with the equipment they are using, and that it is being used correctly, efficiently and safely. If key checks are skipped in busy times, and the risk of incidents, equipment damage, and lost productivity increases.
In accordance with AS4233.1: 2013 HPWJ Part 1: Safe operation and maintenance, operators are required to participate in high pressure water jetting refresher training at a minimum of every two years for a Statement of Attainment that is evidence that their credentials are up-to-date.
KOR sends out ongoing reminders to businesses when their operators are due for high pressure water jetting operations refresher training so that there is consistent and regular training.
Why Nationally Accredited Competency Training Matters?
For any workplaces using heavy machinery, high pressure water jetting, excavation, vacuum loading or similar, having operators trained through nationally accredited competency training courses reduces liability, improves safety and ensures compliance. It protects people, the company’s reputation, reduces operational risk and can lead to work from clients who require formally trained operators.
