Training Period
For quarry use this is typically achieved in one 8 hour session with a maximum of 4 students to each course. The course is mainly hands on doing the work and learning a set procedure. At the end of the day each student carries out the full procedure on his own under the observation of a NONEX Systems Ltd instructor, and if done in a safe and confident manner, and showing a complete understanding of technique/procedure, and all safety aspects, he is deemed to be competent and awarded a certificate. For construction/demolition site use, the training is the same but typically can take 2 to 3 days because of HSE constraints on construction or demolition sites. The 2nd/3rd day is usually carrying out work on your projects under a NONEX Systems Ltd instructors supervision.
