What kind of licence to operate excavator?
The requirement for competence on site is another issue. By law employers should ensure that all excavator operators receive information instruction and training on the respective item of plant. UK major contractors may demand that excavator operators on their sites are in possession of a nationally accepted scheme, ticket/card, that highlights their competence. For example the National Plant Operators Registration Scheme, NPORS, is an health and Safety Executive, HSE, accredited plant training organisation.
