To train others to use equipment and tools

• Trainers are people who train or induct others to use equipment and tools safety while giving a basic overview of its uses.
• Certain pieces of equipment may require more than one session. for example, metal is often broken up into segments.

To Train new Users

Step One. Theory:

Online content, covering everything required in 3 areas.

1. Health and Safety: Fire, Risk Assessment, COSHH, Specific dangers.
2. How To: Covering equipment, tool, any hardware or software.
3. Culture: How we use the workshops, showing what you make, feedback.

Test & tracking: Create a test covering the above content. A 100% score is required to pass, and results should be recorded via a digital tracking form (Excel/Sheets).

Data saved: time, date, name and email of the trainee.

Step Two. Practical:

The trainee now needs to have a practical.

As they should know the basics from the online material the teacher only needs to give a brief overview.

Show the hardware and/or software, SHOW IT IN USE!

Then have each individual make the same thing. From start to finish with minimal information from the Trainer, correcting only when needed.
