Lift Truck Training
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998 require employers to remove or control risks in the use of equipment. You must provide adequate information, instruction and training to employees before they use equipment.
Around 10% of accidents involving lift trucks are caused by a lack of operator training.
Failure to comply may lead to fines or prosecution.
Providing operator training helps establish an active safety culture amongst your employees. Accidents, and their costs, will reduce considerably. Your employees will feel safer in their work, improving productivity and staff morale.
There are three levels available:
Novice 3-5 days
Intermediate 2-3 days
Refresher/Conversion 1 day
Course content is 75 per cent practical training
