Who on my site has to be registered on the scheme and complete the training?

All those who tend to the livestock or have contact with the eggs are required to be registered – this includes owner-managers as well as egg collectors/graders.  There are however some exemptions, which are listed below:

It is not necessary for someone of the following employment status to be registered on the scheme who is: –

• Less than 18 years old and within full-time education, excluding an Apprenticeship
• Within the first four months of employment
• Classed as a casual worker (the term casual worker usually applies to temporary working; such as which occurs only once, and for a short period of time, or which occurs more often but on an irregular or unpredictable basis)
