Do you know that as a trained FLT operator, there is always a job for you!

Numerous opportunities exist for trained operators in industry, warehousing and construction.  Companies who are actively recruiting will usually prefer to employ someone who already holds an accredited certificate of training.

Numerous opportunities exist for trained operators in industry, construction and warehousing, either as a dedicated function, or as part of other responsibilities. These opportunities can be either temporary or permanent.
Licensed Reach operators, in particular, are always at a premium with agencies whose contracts may be long or short term, in which case valuable and varied experience can be gained. In addition there is always the possibility that these contracts can lead to permanent positions.
Other companies who are actively advertising or looking to recruit employees will usually prefer to bring someone on board who already holds a recognised certificate of training.

Proof of test within a maximum period of 3 years is usually looked for.

In order to satisfy the stringent requirements of Health & Safety law, an increasing demand is now being placed on all areas of industry, commerce and individuals alike for quality training.
As a result, proof of training is now mandatory. HSE recognises RTITB and National Plant as awarding bodies, as the training complies with the Approved Code of Practice (L117). RTITB have introduced a National Operators Registration Scheme (NORS) and National Plant have introduced their own National Plant Operators Registration Scheme (NPORS).

New employers and agencies are now asking for this standard of training. In-house training is not recognised very often as it has not been carried out by accredited instructors.

So whether you are an individual looking to train, retrain, or to update your existing qualifications, gain the advantage and contact us today.

Both schemes are centralised registration and certification systems for Lift Truck operators and other mechanical handling equipment drivers.
Why has NORS / NPORS been introduced?
To:
• Eradicate counterfeit operator certificates issued by trainers who are not properly accredited by RTITB or NPORS.
• Align with potential and forthcoming European and other international requirements, and to provide internationally recognised and transferrable records of training and competence
• Reinforce adherence to training standards by only certificating and registering fully acredited training
• Raise confidence in operator training, competence and qualification to support high quality training provided by accredited training organisations

• To improve staff confidence and morale - quality, job related training with the emphasis on safe and efficient working practices develops operator confidence and encourages them to become productive and efficient members of the team.

In order to comply with their duties under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998 and general duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must ensure that all operators they employ, both new and existing, are adequately trained and, when necessary, provide for their additional or refresher training.

The HSE Approved Code of Practice (ACOP) provides advice, guidance and acts as a yardstick for employers in assisting them to comply with the above legislation.

(A) Initial Training

The training of operators to use stacking rider-operated lift trucks ("rider-operated" means any truck capable of carrying an operator and includes trucks controlled from both seated and stand-on positions, which may be fixed or fold-away) should follow a carefully devised programme and an instructor should assess the operator throughout its duration. Additionally, operators are required to pass both a practical and theoretical test of the skills and knowledge needed for safe operation on all types of lift truck and attachments that they will or could be required to use in their work and should consist of the following elements:

1. Basic Training
The basic skills & knowledge required for safe operation.

2. Specific Job Training
Knowledge of workplace and experience of any special needs & handling equipment.
3. Familiarisation Training
Practical operation on the job under close supervision

(B) Refresher Training

There is a further obligation on employers which states that any training, once given, should be maintained to a minimum standard. Whilst there is no specific requirement to provide refresher training, even trained and experienced lift truck operators need to be re-assessed to ensure that they continue to operate lift trucks safely. This assessment should be part of a standard monitoring procedure, be formally time-tabled to ensure it is done at reasonable intervals and should take into account operators who have not used a truck for some time; are occasional users; appear to have developed unsafe practices; have had an accident or near miss, etc. Automatic retraining after a set period of time is undoubtedly the best way of ensuring that operators are adequately trained.

The current HSE view is that they would expect to see some form of refresher training up to a maximum period of five years from the date of the last test. Most companies, within their own Health and Safety policy, tend to adopt between a three and five year period and the guiding principle is that employers need to maintain the competence of operators to use lift trucks safely through a laid down, formal process of monitoring and assessment.

Failure to comply with the above could invalidate company insurance and our advice would be to check the specifics of your own policy documents. Technically a licence, once issued never expires, and it is not, therefore, illegal to drive a fork lift truck after the recommended period.However, in the event of accident, it could be argued that the company has failed in its obligation to ensure training standards are maintained.
