What does the apprentice license enable the holder to do?

The apprentice license is specifically designed for individuals who are in training to become fully licensed operators. This license permits the holder to operate machinery only under the direct supervision of a licensed person. This requirement ensures that the apprentice can learn and practice safely, receiving guidance and instruction from an experienced individual who can oversee their actions and provide immediate assistance if necessary.

This approach not only enhances the apprentice's skill development but also prioritizes safety in the workplace, ensuring that less experienced operators are supported by someone knowledgeable. Thus, having direct supervision is crucial for maintaining compliant and safe operations while the individual is still gaining the necessary experience to operate independently in the future.
