Casual training poses risk
10 November 2015
With some businesses allowing lift truck ‘training’ to simply be carried out by a forklift operator, who may or may not be correctly trained themselves, RTITB is warning of the dangers of ‘casual’ training and confirms best practice.
"Forklift training should be delivered by an instructor who is trained and qualified, as clearly outlined in the Approved Code of Practice for Rider Operated lift truck guidance (L117) from HSE,” says Laura Nelson, MD of workplace transport training accrediting body, RTITB.
The HSE has expressed that improperly trained "instructors” are an ongoing problem that must be tackled.
