In regards to training, that a minimum amount of training (within the resources) of the business to each individual is available and enforced.
I've been in units where the formal and informal training is tightly focused on one or two individuals and the rest of us are kept as a lower grade of supervisor / digger / PO. It can be down to something as simple as the Unit Director "doesn't like you"
I'd just be worried that if training is directly related to pay, only the minimal amount of staff would be trained to keep wages down and some people would end up as a second class and find it difficult to progress up the pay scale.
I just get tired of having appraisals and "of course we'll let you use a total station" and nothing happening. Could it be worked into the Investors In People framework perhaps?

No-one's died yet and I think we lost the glory down the back of the sofa.....
