Whoever is nearest gets on the machine. Regulation 9 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 puts the duty on the employer: everyone who uses work equipment must have had adequate training for health and safety. PHW assesses your people on your own machines, on your own site, and each one gets a certificate with a QR code that opens a live record.
