Which qualifications for "pressure washing"
« on: March 30, 2013, 01:45:09 pm »
Which qualifications for "pressure washing" are reallly needed?
There seems to me to be quite a few "qualifications and accreditations" around. As i look at them they seem to be from so called health and safety training companies that have little or none accreditations themselves (other than those they have awarded themselves).
It seems to me that all i need to do is pay the money and take a test (online or otherwise) to get my card be able to use there logo.
In my day i have done so many health and safety coarses,inductions ,etc  and the only real requirement  in law is for the person doing the operation/task to be "competent"  .....saying that over the years i have met plenty of people that no matter how much training they receive they will never be competant (in all probity no even capable of wiping there own arse)  .
So returning to my original question "Which qualifications for "pressure washing" are reallly needed?"
