Posted By Jerry Lucey Hi Scott, The use of man riding cages comes under Specific Job Training and should take place once the operator has sucessfully completed a course of basic training and has been provided with a Certificate of Competence. Specific Job Training should take place away from the work place and should be carried out by a competent person. There is no recommended time on specific job training. Once a trainee has completed Basic, Specific Job and Familiarisation training they may be authorised to operate within the workplace by a senior manager within your workplace. Hope this helps.
