Refresher – Counterbalance Forklift Training
Course title:
Lift Truck Basic Safety Refresher and Test Course
Course objectives:
To teach refresher training and update the basic skill requirements and associated job safety knowledge to existing certificated operators of industrial lift trucks
Who should attend this course:
Delegates who hold or have evidence of basic skills certification on the machine type in question
Course duration:
This course is typically between 5 and 7.5 hours (1 day) dependent on the number of trainees attending the course. ITSSAR accredited courses for lift trucks are strictly a maximum of 3 delegates to one instructor on one machine to ensure the training meets the Approved Code of Practice L117
Machine types novice training is delivered on include:
Counter balance, reach, side loaders, multi directional (e.g. combi lifts), telescopic handlers, narrow aisle, articulated pivot steer (e.g. bendi), rough terrain, transportable (e.g. moffet mounty).
Safety Refresher and Test courses are also available on pedestrian operated lift trucks that have shorter durations and we will be only too pleased to help with course timings on these types of machines.
Certification:
Successful delegates will receive a Safety Refresher and Test certificate of basic skill and ability endorsed by ITSSAR with their registration number to the Trained Operator Passport Scheme (TOPS)
Training Material:
Delegates will receive relevant course handouts to support theoretical knowledge gained
Location:
At customers premises or at our centre (reach and counterbalance only in centre)
Both Nicola and I passed yesterday with Gareth, on a personal note he was a brilliant trainer, and a really nice genuine person, it was a total pleasure having him here at work teaching us and understanding us as people.
Please can you pass on to him, our best wishes and thanks from Nicola and myself.
