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 Wind Energy work in Tullamore 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. Even a perfectly trained worker drifts under time pressure, so someone on site needs the knowledge and the authority to stop unsafe work involving Wind Energy work in Tullamore before it becomes an incident. That only happens when supervisors are trained too.
