NPORS Training
NPORS (National Plant Operators Registration Scheme) was formed in 1992, accrediting over 1000 Instructors and Training Providers who operate on National and International projects.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recognise NPORS as a competent organisation to accredit, monitor and train Instructors/Training Providers to deliver Operator training and testing. Recognition by the HSE is intended to help set and maintain professional training standards, helping employers select the training organisations who offer a good standard of training.
As accrediting body we believe each employer should satisfy themselves that the training and testing of their employees, is provided by Instructors who have appropriate skills and training in the required instructural techniques, ensuring their employees receive the appropriate training for the equipment they are required to use.
NPORS Training and Testing can either be competed at our Training Centre in West Lothian, or on your own site (providing your site meets the requirement and the appropriate plant is available. Successful candidates will be issued with an NPORS card, which is valid for 5 years.
NPORS Operator Card Renewals
An operator can renew his NPORS card in one of two ways:
- An employer signs a renewal notification form. This signature is to verify that the operator has maintained a good standard on the category and has been accident free during their employment
Or
- Refresher training has been completed for each group of categories.
Operators have a 6 month grace period for the expiry date of their old card to renew it.
