The Health & Safety Commission has published an Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) and guidance called Rider-operated lift trucks: Operator training, that set out the legal minimum standard of basic training which people should receive before they are allowed to operate certain types of lift truck.
These Telescopic Loaders, Forklifts and Tractor Driving courses are Integrated Training and Assessment courses (ITA) leading to a Lantra Awards Certificate in Basic Training.
Industrial telescopic materials handlers provide greater ground clearance than a standard lift truck and are used on uneven ground, commonly within the land-based and construction industry, it has a similar appearance and function to a forklift truck, but due to its upwards and forwards reach abilities it is much more versatile. These training courses meet the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) standards and provide learners with the necessary knowledge to become a trained operator and skills to safely operate the machinery including manoeuvring in confined spaces and other vital skills.
*Course duration – 1 day ( additional days can be arranged for candidates with less experience)
