Forklift training in Berkshire

Are you based in Berkshire and need to be able to operate a forklift? If that’s the case, you’re going to need forklift training so that you can demonstrate to your employer that you can operate a forklift responsibly and safely.

Do I need forklift training?

Whatever industry you’re working in, if you’re going to be loading and unloading goods, a forklift truck will likely be used to help you carry out the job. Operating the machinery safely, so that you do not put yourself or others at risk, is extremely important. Employers also have to make sure that they stay within the law and adhere to Regulation 9 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998. This regulation is in place to ensure that adequate training is provided to employees to minimise the risk of injury.

The benefits of forklift training

After successfully completing your forklift training, you will receive a certificate that demonstrates to your employer or prospective employer that you are competent at handling and operating the equipment.

Types of forklift training

Three training levels are provided, but we can also offer training tailored to your specific requirements.

Novice training

This training covers all the basics you need to know in order to be able to operate a forklift confidently and safely. It also includes information on forklift legislation.

Experienced training

Once you have undertaken the Novice training course, the next stage is to gain a greater understanding about the various attachments of the forklift, and how each one can change the movement and operational characteristics of the machinery.

Refresher training

Technology moves at a rapid rate and this affects the construction and build of new forklift models. To keep ahead of the changes, a refresher course every 3 years is recommended. This will keep you up to speed with all the latest equipment.
