The tasks carried out during depollution are highly skilled and involve numerous hazardous activities. Despite being relatively high risk, some perceive this essential role as a low-paid entry position within the industry, and as such, there is a high turnover of staff due to lack of training and appreciation, poor equipment, unrealistic work targets and a high chance of injury. This attrition rate means that ELV operatives spend little time in role becoming experienced, and therefore the sector is suffering from a significant lack of proficient staff.
