When using forklifts within your operations, you must ensure your workers are all adequately trained<\/span><\/a>. The Heath & Safety Executive\u2019s figures show that 43 people are injured by forklifts each week, and there\u2019s a fatality every 6 weeks on average. Proper training is key to making sure the best safety practices are being adhered to, safeguarding your forklift drivers and those around them from injury.

At Safety 1st Forklift Training, we know how important correct <\/span>forklift driver training<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is. That\u2019s why we recently appointed a dedicated forklift Training Manager, Trevor. With his experience and expertise, Trevor is perfectly placed to visit your operations in person and deliver in-house training to your staff. Our forklift driver training courses are:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u2022 Suited to all levels, from first-time forklift users through to experienced drivers in need of top-up training.<\/p>

\u2022 Tailored to your team\u2019s specific learning requirements and budget.<\/p>

\u2022 Carried out at your site for convenience, with the option to take the course at our forklift driver training centre.<\/p>

We\u2019ve spoken a lot about the many benefits of general forklift training, which you can read about a little more\u00a0<\/span>here<\/span>. Today we\u2019d like to focus specifically on in-house training, and the many fantastic benefits that using a dedicated in-house driver trainer has for your business.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

IT IS CONVENIENT\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>

In-house training is the most convenient way to learn the fundamentals of forklift driving. It means that you and your team don\u2019t have to travel somewhere new and unfamiliar; our dedicated driver trainer will come to you and carry out the training in-house.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

LEARN WHERE YOU\u2019LL BE WORKING<\/span><\/b><\/h2>

Your drivers are trained in the exact environment they will be carrying out their work in. That means that site-specific hazards are taken into account to ensure training is as helpful and relevant as possible, rather than the \u2018one size fits all\u2019 training you may get elsewhere.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

IT\u2019S QUICKER THAN EXTERNAL TRAINING<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>

The great news if you\u2019re concerned about downtime is that in-house training is actually faster than learning at a centre. Our beginner\u2019s in-house training course takes between 2 and 3 days, whereas this could be between 3 and 5 days at a training centre.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0
<\/span><\/p>

REDUCE DISRUPTION TO BUSINESS<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>

Cutting out time travelling between your place and work and a driver training centre means less disruption to your day-to-day operations. Driver training can be a somewhat large time commitment, but in-house training affords you some more flexibility and reduces the potential disruption to your operations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

IT ENSURES COMPLIANCE<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>

Making sure your workers have had the right forklift driver training means you\u2019re maintaining compliance with the law. The\u00a0<\/span>HSE\u2019s Approved Code of Practice for Rider Operated lift truck guidance (L117)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0states that all forklift training should be delivered by an accredited instructor. Casual training has a number of risks associated with it, which we spoke about in more detail\u00a0<\/span>in this article.<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our dedicated Training Manager Trevor is a qualified instructor with experience providing in-house training throughout the industry. His expertise as a forklift driver trainer ensures candidates are up to date on correct training, legislation, and safety measures. Trevor delivers all manners of forklift training, from counterbalance and reach to Flexi, and can tailor training to meet your business\u2019s requirements.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
