FORKLIFT TRUCK OPERATOR TRAINING

The law requires forklift truck operators to be trained regulation 9 of the Provisions and use of work equipment regulations (Puwer 98) states:

“Every employer shall ensure that all persons who use work equipment have received adequate training”

Adequate training means sufficient for the job which, for forklift truck operators, will be measured in days rather than hours.

REFRESHER TRAINING

There is no specific time period after which you need to provide refresher training or formal assessment, however you may decide automatic refresher
training or a retest after a set period (Health and safety recommendation is 3-5 years) is the best way to make sure employees remain competent.

 

Course content

This includes correct legislation information, competency in checking over the equipment before use and identifying any faults, battery and general maintenance (if an electric machine): refuelling (if LPG), dvd on safety and correct usage of equipment, training ideally up to 3mts, eye level, low level, operating in a tight space.
Followed by a theory and practical test.
