Registration of Landbased Operatives (ROLO) qualification

Rolo.jpg

The Department of Trade & Industry made it a ‘duty of care’ that all trade bodies ensure that their members were adequately trained in Health & Safety and that all employers should show that personnel are properly trained.

​

The ROLO Scheme (Registration Of Landbased Operatives) is open to anyone who works in the Land based Industry and is a requirement if you need to apply for a LISS/CSCS card. On successful completion of this one day landbased Health & Safety Course, a certificate is issued to the applicant and is valid for 5 years.

 

With effect from 1st February all ROLO tests have to be done online.  We will still deliver the training face to face in the classroom, but candidates will need to bring their own laptop, tablet or mobile phone to be able to take the test.

 

If you would prefer to do training online we will be happy to accommodate this. Please contact us to arrange this.
