If a Producer uses an external contractor for rodent control, does someone on site still need to complete Rodenticide training for the LTP?

The Health & Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981 requires employers to make sure there are adequate and appropriate first aid equipment, facilities and number of qualified first aiders in the workplace. The HSE recommends that if you work in a company with 5-50 workers there should be at least one person trained in first aid. If the farm has fewer than 5 workers, does the LTP still require someone at the site to be first aid trained?
The Lion Training Passport scheme’s requirement is for every site to have at least one designated first aider – this designation is defined at the point of registration onto the scheme. One designated first aider per site is the minimum requirement defined by the scheme. A first aid risk assessment carried out on that site… Read more »
Will any courses that have already been completed count towards the first (or subsequent) years’ training requirements?
Courses need to be completed annually until fully compliant, whilst courses completed before the enrolment date are valid and recorded, it does not remove the requirement to complete courses annually.
If refresher training (or repeat training if the course is amended due to legislative or other changes) is completed before the renewal date, does that re-start the 3 or 5 year time period for the life of that course? E.g. bird welfare on 10th Jan 2021, so due again 10th Jan 2026; course is then completed again on 10th Jan 2023, does it still last until 2026 or now until 2028?
Yes, if a course is completed again within the valid period, the expiry date is based on five years from this date of attending the latest course.
If several required training courses are completed in one year, is any training required in the subsequent years (i.e. will doing it quickly at the start be sufficient until those courses are due for renewal/refresher training)?
You are required to complete at least 1 course per year, until fully compliant. If you complete all the course training requirements in one year, you do not need to complete any further training until these expire.
Are there restrictions on what order courses have to be completed (e.g. does Biosecurity, Security & Egg Handling have to be completed first)?
No, courses can be completed in any order. However, biosecurity training must be completed by all scheme members within 2022/23.
