ALLMI merges with ALLMI Training
On the 1st February this year, the Association of Lorry Loader Manufacturers and Importers (ALLMI) merged with ALLMI Training Ltd to form a single limited company. The formation of this company, ALLMI Ltd, brings a new corporate identity, part of which includes the new ALLMI logo (above left).

ALLMI was founded in 1978 at the request of the Health & Safety Executive and has always been heavily involved in forming and influencing “Best Practice” within the lorry loader industry. Although ALLMI has been successfully involved in a number of issues, ALLMI members were polled in 2003 with regard to their feelings towards the Association, its activities and its overall profile. The response was that they wanted the Association to enjoy a much higher profile and to perhaps offer a number of peripheral services to its members.

The poll within the ALLMI membership suggested a natural solution; that the Association should build towards merging ALLMI with ALLMI Training Ltd. This provides the organisation with synergies, a single point of contact and the structure to provide any peripheral services in addition to creating the opportunity for a stronger presence in the industry.

This merger has now taken place and ALLMI is currently 13-months into a 24-month program of implementing some major changes. These include: -

  • Replacing the Executive Committee of ALLMI and the Board of ALLMI Training Ltd with a Management Board for the newly merged organisation. All officers have been elected and include representatives from 3 of the biggest loader crane Manufacturers.
  • Introducing a Buyers' Co-operative to enable all Members, particularly the smaller ones, to be able to buy core items such as steel, oil, hoses, insurance and so on through collective bargaining.
  • Introducing a certificated training scheme and ultimately a recognised qualification for people who carry out Examination & Testing of Lorry Loaders.
  • Re-writing and updating the ALLMI Code of Practice to incorporate all the more recent product innovations and legislative requirements.
  • Establishing a new division of the Association specifically for owners of Lorry Loaders

 

 

 

 

Due to the consistently high standards of its training scheme, ALLMI Training Ltd. has been awarded the Health and Safety Executive’s ‘Working in Partnership’ logo of recognition. The logo comes complete with a commendation:

“The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) commends the use of this Training Programme to those who have duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. This programme was drawn up with the participation of a HSE representative and will be referred to in relevant HSE publications.”

ALLMI Training Awarded HSE Logo of Recognition

“The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) commends the use of this Training Programme to those who have duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. This programme was drawn up with the participation of a HSE representative and will be referred to in relevant HSE publications.”

ALLMI Training Ltd. would like to take this opportunity to express its thanks to everyone involved with the scheme for all their hard work, which has led to this recognition. I’m sure you will agree that this is a major step forward.

The ALLMI Training Scheme is the only lorry loader training scheme in the UK to have been awarded this recognition by the HSE, and as such it should benefit everyone in selling the training, thereby raising standards throughout the industry. Below is the press release concerning this issue, which will be sent to all industry journals.

HSE Commends Use Of ALLMI Training For Lorry Loader Operators

ALLMI Training Ltd, the independent training accreditation service and standards body for the UK lorry loader crane industry, has been awarded the HSE’s ‘Working in Partnership’ logo of recognition for its national training scheme. Acknowledged as the industry standard, the scheme is designed to equip operatives with the necessary skills and knowledge to make the use of lorry loader cranes safer and more productive.

Awarded for its consistently high standards, ALLMI Training is the only organisation in its sector to receive such a commendation. The programme was drawn up with the participation of a HSE representative and will now be referred to in relevant HSE publications.

Comments Tom Wakefield, Training Manager of ALLMI Training Ltd:
“We are delighted that the HSE now commends the use of this training programme to all those who have duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. It reflects great credit on everyone involved in developing and delivering the scheme nationwide.”

ALLMI Training operates through a fast-growing network of training centres whose instructors must not only satisfy the stringent requirements of the initial accreditation process, but must consistently achieve agreed standards. Regular audits are conducted on all instructors to ensure a common high standard throughout the scheme.
