Lee,
as far as I am aware, the only training course that you mention that has a validity period is Firts Aid at Work, assuming you are talking about provision of First Aiders. All of the others are up to your own judgements dependant on individuals work, ie if he uses a pallet truck every day all day, then refreshers may not be needed, but if its only once in a blue moon then refresher training may be required more often. You also need to consider changes or improvements in legislation, technology or working practises. Horses for courses really.
If its the frequency of inspecting and certificating of the subjects mentioned, then thats a different kettle of fish. Hi and lo voltage needs to be checked between 1 and 5 yearly intervals dependant on your business functions, Pat testing doesn't need to be done at all.

Posted By Tim James We run Pat Testing training courses and we tell our participants that, as long as they carry out pat testing on a regular basis, they don't need a refresher course. We always advise them to keep up to date with developments though! On a First Aid course, one typically spends all day resuscitating the plastic doll, but hope that the skill will never be needed - if it is, the hope is that you will remember what you learned on the course. With PAT Testing, we encourage our trainees to start testing their equipment within 24 - 48 hours of the course. That way, they are able to apply what they have learned and develop a skill rather than just knowledge. Rules do change though - the IEE (now IET) Code of Practice was revised in 2001, and it is apparently being considered for further revision at the moment. If it does change, there may be a need for further training. Tim James Technical Director www.t2technical.co.uk
