This is to include, training in the methods which may be adopted when using work equipment, any risks which such use may entail and precautions to be taken. This duty extends to any employee who manages or supervises the use of work equipment. Under the HSWA 1974 s2(1), the employer must ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees.
