Don’t think you need forklift training? Wrong! Operating a forklift may seem simple, especially if you’ve done it for many years, but it’s both important and mandatory to have regular and ongoing training. But what does forklift training involve?
Our training will generally consist of 3 stages which will cover both written and practical assessment.
You will be using a range of video and written materials to assist you in your training:
- Basic training: the basic skills and knowledge required to operate a lift truck safely and efficiently.
- Specific job training: knowledge and understanding of the operating principles and controls of the lift truck to be used and how it will be used in the workplace.
- Familiarisation training: applying what has been learnt, under normal working conditions, on the job.
Trainees with some experience of lift trucks or relevant experience of similar vehicles may need less extensive training than those with no experience but it’s still important.
The instructor will continuously assess a trainee’s progress to ensure they achieve the required standards throughout training. At the end of the training, the trainee should pass a test, or tests, to demonstrate that they have the necessary practical and theoretical knowledge and skills to operate lift trucks safely.
