Running for a minimum of a day, dependant on the amount and kind of tools covered, the course will go over important points like health and safety, risk assessment, arm vibration syndrome (the cause of and symptoms) and the safe operation and use of portable, electric power tools.

Training is universal; it doesnâ€™t just apply to Makita brand tools, and is open to all within the construction industry as well as teachers and other school/college trainers.
