Driver Training
Dedicated Company Training (NA TRAINING) is a growing company who`s aim is to be one of the Leading Professional Training Companies in Material Handling Equipment in the UK.
We believe the only way to achieve this is to give value for money.
We train industrial operators and Instructors on most types of lifting and handling equipment throughout the Berkshire .
Our instructor/examiners undertake to train individual fork lift truck operators to the highest standard achievable.
We always give consideration to the working conditions and nature of business it is training within, but above all, the requirements of the Health & Safety at Work Act. We will advise on training requirements, safety legislation, and highlight area of potential hazard, to help employers and managers maintain a safe working environment, minimise risk of accidents and maximise efficient production.
THE TEST ( LOADS AND LOADS OF PRACTICE )
Fork Lift Truck operators Practical Operating Test
Pictured is the test course for Fork Lift Operators which was revised on April 3rd 2000. This test has been validated by the Joint Industry Council and is approved by ITSSAR for all reach and counterbalanced fork lift training purposes.
It should be noted that this test should be in use by all accredited bodies and is recognised as the definitive test by the Health and Safety Commission. The test now comprises three parts, all of which must be taken and passed before a certificate of basic training can be given. It is often wrongly assumed that once a person has passed this test he/she is entitled to a fork lift truck operators' "licence". In fact there is no such thing! The passing of this test merely indicates that a person has been on an approved training course and has demonstrated the necessary skills needed to operate a fork lift safely. Please note that this test may be constructed as a "mirror image" of that which is shown here.
It is also important to note that training is not complete until all three stages of training as defined by the (ACOP) have been covered. These are:
Basic training - passing the test described on this page
Specific job training - defined as knowledge of the workplace and any special handling attachments
Familiarisation training which can be done "on the job" under close supervision
Please note that there are two versions of this test which allow for the fact that some test courses cannot be set up with loads on both sides of the main aisle. The main aisle dimensions are now different for reach trucks to reflect their greater manoeuvrability.
The practical test shown above requires the candidate to drive forwards and reverse through the chicane twice instead of just once as previously.
The candidates are now expected to pass a written question paper and achieve a minimum score of 80%. Five of these questions are "open" and the remainder are the usual multi-choice type of questions.
Trainees are also examined on their ability to complete pre-use checks as part of the test
