CMPE’s Certificate of Competence Certificate Scheme Gathers Momentum
The CMPE (Contractors Mechanical Plant Engineers) will be back at next year’s show to promote the safe use of motorised plant (SED 2011). The Association was founded in 1957, the membership comprising individuals involved in all aspects of mechanical plant used in the construction industry.
26-years ago the CMPE established the first scheme of competence for plant operators and to date more than 20,000 Certificates of Competence have been issued. The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) officially recognises the CMPE’s contribution to on site safety.The CMPE stand last year (SED2009) had a very different look about it compared to previous shows, with the emphasis very much on what membership had to offer, there was much to check out visually with the posters showing various members comments, challenges and solutions inter-branch communication very much the underlying theme and also the media centre.
Gerry Hill, CPME’s national treasurer said, “The stand was frequently busy with Wednesday showing the highest number of visitors, lots of enquiries about membership many more about our certificate of competence scheme. As contractors grow increasingly discontented with the CPCS scheme, we even took enquiries from members of HSE which was very encouraging. All in all a very worthwhile exhibition for the C.M.P.E.”
The CMPE is looking forward to SED 2011 you can visit the Association from 17th – 19th May at Rockingham Motor Speedway, Corby Northamptonshire.
