Posted By lorraine Mitchell A trainee has forgotten to bring his safety boots while attending a FLT course with an outside provider on that providers site although all course akcnowledgements state that safty clothing (PPE) must be worn. If the trainee has an accident on the training providers site who is liable the training provider, or the trainees employer. Or should training be refused to be given. Is the training provder obliged to provide safety wear there is a problem with policing the return of these items especially boots.

Posted By Merv Newman I agree with the first response. I do a lot of safety training and the invitations always spell out exactly what PPE is required. Still some people turn up without it. I then have to inform them that unless they can obtain the PPE before the practical session then they will be noted as not having completed the training. Usually they can find what is required during a break.

Posted By Alec Wood The sign posted outside many building sites some years ago "No hat, no boots, no job". I haven't seen it for a while though. When we issue PPE such as safety boots it is made clear that our attitude is very much in line with the sentiments of that old sign. Send him home to get his boots, and let him clock in when he gets back. If he's allowed to continue without them then you are by implication saying it is a matter of personal choice to wear PPE or not. Alec Wood Samsing Electronics
