The MPQC Plant Scheme is designed to ensure organisations within the quarry sector, meet their obligations under the Quarry Regulations 1999. 

Any new operator will require an assessment to demonstrate they can operate the appropriate piece of plant/equipment safely.

Once you safely pass the assessment, you will be issued a card which includes a QR code, and will provide access to a digital profile. 

This record will show that you are an ''Assessed Operator'' in the same way the red cards did previously. 

You then have 2 years to achieve the relevant MPQC Level 2 Vocational Qualification (VQ). 

Once complete, your profile status will be updated to reflect that you are now a ''Competent Operator'' in the same way the blue cards issued did previously. 

The MPQC Plant Scheme is designed to ensure organisations within the quarry sector, meet their obligations under the Quarry Regulations 1999. 

Once an operator has been assessed and issued a plant card providing access to a digital profile, the individual will enrol to complete the relevant Level 2 MPQC Vocational Qualification (VQ). 

Once complete, we will issue you with a qualification certificate and your status for your digital profile will be updated to reflect that you are now a ''Competent Operator'' in the same way the blue cards issued did previously. 

You will need to book a refresher prior to the expiry date of the plant item (every 5 years from the original assessment date), to maintain your licence. 

Previously, when you safely passed the assessment, you would of been issued an updated Blue ''Competent Operator Card''.

Now, you will be issued with a standardised plant card, which provides access to a digital profile, and this profile will be updated to reflect any new endorsements or refreshers which have taken place. 

Those operating multiple pieces of plant/equipment will complete an assessment for each piece of plant/equipment they need to operate. 

They will then complete the required VQ for one of those pieces of equipment in order to upgrade their digital profile status from an ''Assessed Operator'' to a ''Competent Operator''. 

All endorsements will be made available within your digital profile. However, you will need to complete a 5-yearly assessment for each piece of plant/equipment on or before its expiry date. 

Likewise, should you wish to add any additional endorsements, once you have achieved the appropriate VQ, you will only need to complete an initial assessment, and then this endorsement can be added to your digital profile.
