Why Train at Your Winsford Industrial Estate Workplace?
Training at your premises gives operators practical experience in a familiar environment.
The instructor can relate the course to your:
- Workplace traffic routes
- Loading and unloading areas
- Storage and racking systems
- Pedestrian movements
- Normal loads and attachments
- Equipment controls and handling characteristics
- Company operating procedures
This is particularly useful for businesses operating from busy warehouse, production or commercial units where equipment and pedestrians share working areas.
Which Forklift Course Is Appropriate?
New Operators
Employees with no previous operating experience will normally require novice training. This combines theory with progressive practical instruction and assessment.
Experienced but Formally Untrained Operators
A shorter experienced operator course may be suitable when an employee has sufficient genuine operating experience but no recognised evidence of previous formal training.
Previously Trained Operators
Refresher training or reassessment may be appropriate following unsafe practice, an accident or near miss, an extended absence or a change in working conditions.
Operators Changing Equipment
Conversion training may be required when a trained operator moves to another truck category with different controls or handling characteristics.
