C&M Training has developed a Waste Industry Drivers course for Albion
Environmental Ltd. The course has subsequently been approved by JAUPT (on
behalf of the Drivers Standards Agency) to act as 7 hours (1 day) towards
the new Drivers CPC scheme.

LGV drivers who drive professionally throughout the UK must complete 35
hours of “Periodic Training” every 5 years which is known as
Drivers CPC. The aim of this “Periodic Training” is to improve
the safety and efficiency of professional drivers. Training sessions must
last for a minimum of 7 hours (1 day) meaning drivers need to complete 5
x 7 hour sessions (days) of training every 5 years.

Albion
Environmental had identified a lack of waste industry specific training
for drivers and commissioned C&M Training to develop a classroom based
course which would include the following topics:

• Introduction & overview of waste and the industry
• An overview of the legislation affecting drivers transporting waste
  (Duty of Care, Waste Carriers regulations etc)
• The legal requirements of placing skips on the public highway
• How to use the European Waste Catalogue/List of Wastes to classify
  waste loads
• How to complete Waste Transfer Notes correctly

The course will ensure that drivers can operate efficiently and legally
in the complex and highly regulated waste sector.

Industry Drivers CPC Course contact Albion Environmental Ltd on:

C&M Training and Ritchie’s Training Centre have combined their
expertise and accreditations to offer a Drivers Emergency First Aid at Work
(EFAW) Course.

LGV and PCV drivers who drive professionally throughout the UK must complete
35 hours of “Periodic Training” every 5 years which is known
as Drivers CPC (refer to EU Directive 2003/59).

The aim of this “Periodic Training” is to improve the safety
and efficiency of professional drivers. Training sessions must last for
a minimum of 7 hours (1 day) meaning drivers need to complete 5 x 7 hour
sessions (days) of training every 5 years. Training for Driver CPC and the
trainers that deliver it, must be approved by JAUPT (on behalf of the Drivers
Standards Agency).

C&M Training, in conjunction with Ritchie’s Training Centre have
developed and gained approval for a joint HSE/JAUPT accredited Emergency
First Aid at Work Course which counts as 7 hours (1 day) towards Drivers
CPC as well as being recognised as a workplace first aid qualification.

Combining these accreditations allows delegates to get 2 qualifications
for the price of one and has proved very popular (particularly with owner
drivers). If you require any further information or would like to book onto
a Drivers CPC EFAW Course contact Ritchie’s Training Centre on 0141
