Our 1 day RTITB safety awareness course for managers and supervisors of forklift truck operators is designed to meet the requirements of the PUWER Regulations 1998 (Regulation 9B) and is suitable for:
- Warehouse Managers and Supervisors
- Health and Safety Officers
- Shift Managers and Supervisors
- Yard Managers and Supervisors
- Transport Managers and Supervisors
- Team Leaders
- Human Resources Personnel
- Company Directors and Executives
- Line Managers
The PUWER regulations require that managers and supervisors of forklift truck operators have received adequate training for purposes of health and safety, including training in the methods to be adopted when using forklift trucks, any risks that such use may entail and the precautions to be taken.
The HSC provides guidance in its revised Code of Practice (L117) on compliance with the Health and Safety Work Act and Regulation 9B of the PUWER Regulations:
‘The Health and Safety at Work Act requires you to provide adequate supervision. It is essential that supervisors have enough training and knowledge to recognise safe and unsafe practices. This does not mean they need full operator training, but they do need to understand the risks involved, and how to avoid or prevent them. Some organisations offer training courses for supervisors and managers of lift truck operations.’
The HSC continue to say that supervisors should be able to:
- Carry out an effective observation and know what to look for
- Communicate effectively with operators and line managers
- Recognise unsafe practice and behaviour
- Maintain and promote health and safety standards
Our Safety Awareness course syllabus has been compiled to comply with HSE requirements for manager and supervisor awareness training courses and is accredited by RTITB.
By the end of the safety awareness course, those who have responsibility for lift truck operators will be familiar with:
- Health and Safety Overview
- Their statutory responsibilities
- RTITB and operator training
- Safe operation of fork lift trucks
- Hazard perception and awareness
- Individual workplace action plans
The maximum number of candidates for this 1 day safety awareness course is 12 delegates. The price per delegate will depend on the number of candidates attending. Contact us for more information on pricing and availability.
The courses can be conducted at our training centre in Cumbernauld or on your premises, subject to suitable facilities being available.
At the end of the course each candidate is issued with an RTITB certificate of attendance.
