There is no specific requirement to provide refresher training after set intervals, but even trained and experienced operators need to be reassessed from time to time to ENSURE that they continue to operate machines safely. In addition to routine SAFETY monitoring, re-assessment might be appropriate where operators have not used machines for some time, are occasional USERS, appear to have developed UNSAFE working practices, have had an accident or near miss, or there is a change in their working practices or environment.
