Recycling plants can be dangerous places to work for new and untrained operatives, so Presona UK is offering to provide specialist training for any owner or operator of its baling machines.
The one-day course is ideal for any staff charged with looking after Presona equipment. It is useful for those who have used smaller or shear balers but who might be unfamiliar with the company’s energy-efficient prepress technology.
It is also suitable for people needing a refresher course or wanting to update their skills.
The course can be carried out on-site, and covers health and safety regulations and Provisions and Use of Work Equipment Regulations.
The course will also ensure that operators and maintenance teams know how to keep the equipment correctly calibrated to run at optimum efficiency with minimum intervention. This will help to maximise throughputs and optimise bale weights for logistics efficiencies.
