On site

How a PHW training day actually works

PHW comes to the employer's site and trains and assesses operators on the machines they will actually run. No hired-in machines, no travelling to a centre. PHW travels nationally, so the same day runs the same way wherever the site is.

The day, step by step

The same order every time, whatever the machine.

  1. Enquiry and quote, based on the machines, the number of operators and the site
  2. Agree machines, operators and dates with the employer before anyone travels
  3. PHW comes to the site on the agreed date, no machines hired in and no travel for the operators
  4. Theory and practical assessment, carried out on the employer's own machines
  5. Decision and records, with every result recorded as it happens
  6. Certificates, statement and verify page issued once the assessment is complete

What the operator and the employer receive

The same evidence structure across every machine category.

Operator

What the operator gets

Award and unit credit certificates for the qualification, the theory test record, the practical assessment record, and a phone card carrying a QR code that opens their live verify page.

Employer

What the employer gets

A site evidence statement setting out who was assessed, on what, and the decision reached, to keep alongside the employer's own written authorisation for that operator under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 regulation 9.

Be clear about what this is

This evidence supports the employer's duty under PUWER 1998 regulation 9; it does not replace it. The employer still gives the written authorisation for an operator to use a particular machine on a particular site, and PHW's paperwork is what that authorisation stands on.

Refreshers and renewal dates

Every qualification carries a renewal date, and it is shown on the operator's own live verify page alongside their certificates and records, so a site can see at a glance when a refresher is due.
