Training that goes beyond the tick-box
Competence is not the same as experience. A worker who has used ladders for twenty years can still carry twenty years of bad habits. Refresher training matters for Employers in Dun Laoghaire precisely because confidence drifts away from the rules over time, and a quick refresher resets it.
Supervision is the quiet control that holds everything together.

That only happens when supervisors are trained too.
