The
Current Approved Code of Practice for Rider Operated Fork Lift Trucks
requires that employers must ensure that all persons operating a fork
lift truck on their premises are adequately trained. We at Moray Firth
Training have developed courses both for novices and experienced operators.
The duration
of Fork Lift Training programmes depends on the individual operator
but as a guide the following gives an idea of the time required to train
up to 3 persons (which is the maximum per instructor), recommended by
the approved Code of Practice.
Please note : All training is normally done on your own site, however
our instructor has access to his own fork lift truck if required.
