Highway maintenance vehicle builder Econ Engineering has set up a training programme for the wider industry in partnership with awarding body Lantra.
Launched under Econ’s Skills for Life continuous professional development initiative, it includes a series of industry accredited training courses aimed at enhancing safety and compliance in winter maintenance operations.
Econ said the one-day, in person courses are delivered by experienced professionals and are aimed at a raft of professions, including engineers, operators and trainers.
Steve Sinnott, sales director at Econ Engineering, said: “Econ is already a Lantra approved training provider for winter service operations courses, offering access to a comprehensive range of courses and qualifications and it is great to be evolving our already successful partnership further.
“By equipping teams with the right knowledge, this training helps increase return on investment, reduce downtime, improve service awareness, and enhance long-term operational efficiency.
“Proper training also minimises safety risks and ensures best practices are followed throughout the servicing and repair process.”
People who successfully complete a course receive a Lantra-accredited photographic ID card and a certificate of completion.
