Q. As an employer do I have to train lift truck operators?A. Yes. The legislation covering this is the Health & Safety at Work Act, 1974, and Regulation 9 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). In a nutshell this requires that every employer ensures that all persons who use lift trucks, as well as those that supervise them, have received adequate training. Q. When does an operator’s certificate expire?A. It doesn’t. This said it is increasingly common practise in business to ensure that a companies health and safety standards are maintained by providing continuous refresher training - typically every three years or so. Remedial training is recommended when an operator has caused an accident or near miss. Q. Do those who use pallet trucks need training?A. Yes, not least so that the employer complies with PUWER regulations (see above). (A laden powered pallet truck can often weigh more than double the weight of a car. Crushing accidents involving legs, feet and ankles are, sadly, commonplace). Q. What determines the length of a workplace equipment training course?A. That depends on the type of course, the number of students and their experiance levels. Call Chris on 07884 418773 or e-mail chrismajortraining@yahoo.co.uk
