A Letter From The Boss

Dear Sir/Madam
     You may be aware that at present the HSE guidelines in the current ‘Approved Code Of Practice’ covers Lift Trucks. And nothing else. Therefore the training standards required for mechanical equipment of this type are at the training providers discretion.
     Training providers discretion is just that. i.e. the content of any training courses may be questioned in the event of an accident. Or “Is it relevant to the work situation?”. Liability is always with the employer at the end of the day. Assuming that all training courses have minimum relevancy to you is not safe. It’s too late after the incident to ask “What about content!” Better to go with a recognised standard. I am sure you will agree.
     The well-known training scheme Thomas Truck Training ltd operates uses contents which are programmed, tried and tested. The instructors are monitored annually for their standard of training by the relevant accrediting body.
     Certificates issued under the ALLMI training scheme reflect “completion of course and associated practical and theoretical achievement” and are added to a central register. They are also valid for 5 Years and are recognised by the HSE and referred to in approved codes of practice as the standard a HSE inspector would expect from any relevant operator training.

      The question of what is an "Experienced Operator" also arises from time to time. We work on the following...

• Novice Operator
  Candidate who has limited experience and during the course will have to gain sufficient competence to pass the assessment.

• Experienced Operator
  Candidate who it is recommended has had at lease 15 hours of experience operating the lorry loader to initially developed some skill
