Should I take it that, in the case of foundries, the training provider would consult with the Australian Foundry Institute to gain its input into health and safety matters when dealing with electric induction furnaces, heat treatment or whatever it may be? I know that the theory and the reality at the coalface for a lot of these things are set widely apart. I know that it concerns a lot of small businesses, medium sized businesses and large businesses that on a lot of occasions there is a gap between the practicality, the reality, and the legislation.
