Experienced trainer with practical expertise
My name is Paul Cucka. I own and run Mobile Plant Training (MPT) South West.
I have over 25 years’ experience as a qualified trainer. This was built on a firm foundation of practical expertise working as a plant operator, safety officer and site manager. My breadth of practical experience means I have an in-depth knowledge of what is required to operate plant safely, competently and efficiently.
Understanding the challenges of operating equipment help me to relate best practice and legal requirements from a practical viewpoint, providing clear and straightforward instruction.
Previous roles including Health and Safety manager and site manager have given me an appreciation of the need to work efficiently whilst also understanding the dangers of unsafe working practices.
My experience covers the waste and recycling, agriculture, transport and aggregates industries. Professional qualifications include:
- Instructor /examiner for Mobile Plant & Forklift training
- SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme – CITB )
- Managing Safely (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health: IOSH)
- Health and Safety Management for Construction UK (NEBOSH)
- National Diploma in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH)
- National General Certificate in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH)
- CPC transport management
- WAMITAB site management
