ROLO Health and Safety Awareness

£120.00

The Department of Trade & Industry made it a ‘duty of care’ that all trade bodies ensure that their members were adequately trained in Health & Safety and that all employers should show that personnel are properly trained. 

The ROLO Scheme (Registration of Landbased Operatives) is open to anyone who works in the Landbased Industry. This includes labour only, self-employed and employees of companies. On completion of a one day Landbased Health & Safety Course, a card (including photograph) would be issued to the applicant, similar to a credit card. This is issued to an individual and will be valid for 5 years. Any other relevant training, i.e. NPTC Pesticide, chainsaw, ride-on mowers etc would also be acknowledged on the card.

The aims of the scheme are:

• Provide a means of identification
• Keeping a record of workers in the landbased industry who have achieved a recognised level 
  of competence
• Raise the standards of Health and Safety to reduce the risks and accidents throughout the industry
• Encourage employers to use only ROLO card holders who have accredited Health and Safety Training
• Provide a recognised route for health and safety training in the National Highways Sector Scheme 18 
  (NHSS) accreditation
