Operator Training Plan and Records
Training is the cheapest uptime you will ever buy.
What the plan should cover
| Topic | Content |
|---|---|
| Normal operation | Start-up, running, changeover and shutdown |
| Faults | Recognising, reporting and safely clearing common faults |
| Quality | Sampling, checks and handling of suspect parts |
| Limits | What operators must not adjust or open |
| Emergency | Stops, evacuation and who to call |
Building the record
- Assess competence with a practical demonstration, not a questionnaire.
- Keep a short reference sheet at the machine.
- Repeat training after any significant change to the cell.
Training records form part of the safety evidence for the installation. Keep them accessible.
