What training means here

Training is the structured development of the knowledge and skills people need to do their role safely and well. In recycling it ranges from initial safety and equipment training through role-specific skills to ongoing refreshers as processes, materials and equipment change.

Typical training areas

• Safety, hazard awareness and emergency procedures.
• Use of protective equipment and machinery operation.
• Material identification, sorting and contamination handling.
• Plant, baler and shredder operation where relevant.
• Driving, manual handling and any licensed activities.

How employers deliver training

• Combine induction training with on-the-job learning and supervision.
• Keep records of who has completed which training.
• Refresh training when processes, materials or equipment change.
• Support staff toward recognised tickets and certifications where relevant.

Common mistakes

• Treating training as a one-off rather than ongoing.
• No record of who has been trained on what.
• Skipping refreshers after process or equipment changes.
• Relying on informal hand-me-down knowledge alone.
