Operator Courses
5 day novice course:
Aimed at new operators who have no experience of Mechanical Handling Equipment and covers all aspects of best practice and allows the necessary time to gain operational practice to successfully pass the required test. The maximum ratio for this course is 3 candidates to 1 instructor to 1 machine and the training must be conducted in a strict training environment.
3 day experienced operator courses:
Aimed at operators of MHE who have not been formerly trained but have proven previous experience on a type of truck. The course content is exactly the same as the 5 day course but because of their previous experience the candidate will need less practice to meet the required standards. The maximum ratio for this course is 3 candidates to 1 instructor to 1 machine and the training must be conducted in a strict training environment.
1 day refresher course:
The course is aimed at operators who have a proven UK training certificate and is designed to revisit the skills and knowledge covering best practice and safe operation. It also ensures that employers meet their obligations to retrain operators on a 3 to 5 year cycle. The maximum ratio for this course is 3 candidates to 1 instructor to 1 machine and the training must be conducted in a strict training environment.
The standards require the candidate to pass a test covering pre operational checks of their truck, to ensure the obligations for using safe equipment by the operator and the employer are met.
Candidates will sit a multi choice theory test, covering safety practices and operator safety responsibilities. If candidates have learning or language difficulties, by informing their instructor, the relevant help can be given. If a candidate has language difficulties then an interpreter can be used when completing the theory test. The interpreter must be supplied by your company and be a trusted member of staff.
Finally a practical test, designed to show the candidates ability to control their truck within confined areas and their ability to stack and destack loads at various heights and scenarios. The test course is designed to simulate a normal working environment.
Courses cover all aspects of health and Safety, PPE, stability, lorry loading required during basic training. We can also deliver your specific training requirements and assist in familiarisation training.
