At ACE trainers, we passionately believe that everybody who uses forklifts within the working environment should be trained to the highest standard as per relevant legislation. This not only includes the operators who operate the equipment but also the managers and supervisors who are responsible for managing the safe use and control of forklift trucks at the workplace.
As per Regulation 9 (2) of PUWER states: “Every employer shall ensure that any of his employees who supervises or manages the use of work equipment has received adequate training for the purpose of health and safety, including training in the methods which may be adopted when using the work equipment, any risks which such use may entail and precautions to be taken”.
Our Manager and Supervisors course will teach and train the company’s employees in a number of critical areas to improve safety and comply with relevant legislation. Most importantly though this will allow managers and supervisors to acquire new skills, sharpen existing ones, perform better, increase productivity and be better leaders. A company relies on what employees achieve individually; organizations should do everything in their power to ensure that employees perform at their peak.
At ACE trainers we have continued to adapt and change our managers and supervisors’ course to offer the best course which covers several key areas for the safe use of forklift operation. Your managers and supervisors will learn all the relevant legislation and theoretical operating information which a forklift operator does to safely operate a forklift. We also specifically concentrate on Environmental awareness and site-specific hazards within a working environment to carry out in-depth risk assessments for forklifts.
From our in-depth knowledge of forklift training and carrying out site assessments for potential hazards involving forklifts we have found that operators are generally of a high standard. The environmental and site-specific hazards are more from a lack of knowledge from managers or supervisors for the needs of the operator. These hazards range from simple bad housekeeping of the working environment, blocking of aisles or entrances to unrealistic time constraints for the operator. By conducting training for managers and supervisors these environmental risks and problems could be avoided or reduced improving production and team cohesion.
