BFPA defines minimum educational requirements in fluid power

30 August, 2018

“We are by no means the sole provider. Indeed, we are encouraging our members to create their own training programmes, taking guidance from the published levels and our written course material. Similar to the CORGI (gas safe) rating used in the gas industry, we want member companies and wider industry to adopt the ethos ‘if you are to work on my equipment, you need to have this prescribed minimum level of training’. This has to be industry driven…and by a willing industry, but it should have enough traction and buy-in that it will soon become the norm.”

But how do people prove their training levels? Kingsbury explained: “We have now introduced the BFPA training passport card, which includes a photograph and lists the cardholder’s verified training course details on the back. The idea is to highlight the individual’s commitment to safe working practices and high standards in the fluid power industry. The new training passport cards can be issued retrospectively to anyone who has completed a BFPA course within the past two years, or a CETOP course, and BFPA will hold the training history of those individuals who have completed courses directly with the BFPA or one of BFPA’s training providers.”
