Discuss workforce training
Training supports competence development — it does not replace workplace controls.

IPEA learning is provided for general education and professional development. It is not a site-specific risk assessment, professional safety consultancy, a substitute for competent supervision, or authorisation to perform regulated or safety-critical work. Apply organisational procedures and obtain competent specialist advice where required.
