We have several contractors who work on site, recently some have been refusing to attend standard training sessions (all staff are trained in a basic package ie fire emergencies, DSE, Slips Trips and Falls etc.). Now the directors are involved please could I have any thoughts on this situation as I believe that we have a duty of care to ensure that all persons are trained although this is being argued as the DSE regulations suggest that contractors do not need to be trained by the host employer but by their agency.

Point them in the direcion of Reg 12 of the Management regs.
You have a duty to inform them of any risks associated with the tasks they are carry out whilst under your control. one of the ways to do this is by training.
Also for purposes of H&S you must treat self-employed persons as direct employees, for H&S only!!!!
cheers
