#ForkliftFocus- Refresher Training

Why should you provide forklift refresher training for your staff?

Forklift refresher training is an essential part of maintaining a safe and efficient workplace.

Here at Inline Training Limited we recommend that forklift refresher training is completed every 3-5 years. This not only helps you to comply with the from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) but also provides additional benefits:

 Here are some key benefits of providing this training to your employees:

  1. Enhanced Safety: Regular refresher training helps to reinforce safety protocols, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. It ensures that operators are up to date with the latest safety regulations and best practices.
  2. Increased Efficiency: Refresher training can help to improve the efficiency of your operations. By revisiting the correct methods of operating a forklift, employees can work more effectively and productively.
  3. Reduced Equipment Damage: Regular training can help to minimise the risk of damage to your forklifts. Employees who are well-trained are less likely to make mistakes that could lead to costly repairs.
  4. Compliance with Regulations: In many regions, regular forklift training is not just recommended, but legally required. Refresher training helps to ensure that your business remains compliant with these regulations.
  5. Employee Confidence: Employees who receive regular training are likely to feel more confident in their roles. This can lead to increased job satisfaction and morale.

In conclusion, investing in regular forklift refresher training is a smart move for any business. It not only helps to maintain a safe and efficient workplace, but also contributes to the overall success of your operations. Remember, a well-trained workforce is a productive workforce!

FLT Thorough Inspection LOLER Examinations

How often should your lifting equipment be inspected under LOLER?

Employers are often lead to believe that if there forklift truck has been serviced this covers them under LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations). In fact this is not the case.

Yes, having your forklift services and regularly maintained will help when it comes to LOLER inspections. however, what employers need to realise is that they are different.

Thorough Inspection of lifting equipment should take place annually if the equipment is lifting stock and biannually (every 6 months) when lifting people.

Here at InLine Training we are happy to help with Thorough Inspections and can advise on how regularly these should take place for your equipment.

A set of guidelines for employers is available for you to download here
