Managing & Supervising Material Handling Equipment Operations (Forklift Manager Course)
Our managing and supervising material handling equipment (MHE) operations course will enable the managers and supervisors in your business to identify their responsibilities with regards to material handling equipment operations, and will enable them to identify steps that can be taken to minimise risk related to MHE in your workplace. This is also known as the RTITB Forklift Manager course or Forklift Supervisor course.
The requirement of PUWER is “Every employer shall ensure that any of his employees who supervises or manages the use of work equipment has received adequate training for purposes 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.”
Attending the one-day (7.25 hours) forklift manager / supervisor course will ensure you are compliant with this legal requirement. It also assists warehouse managers and site managers when managing their operations.
The course covers the following:
- Walking the floor
- Why are we here?
- Regulations
- Manager and supervisor responsibilities
- Operator training
- Operational safety
- Theory in practice
- Next steps
The course is assessed at the end and candidates are required to complete a theory test and hazard perception test in order to successfully pass and obtain an RTITB accredited certificate. There is a maximum of 12 people allowed on the course and it can be delivered on your premises or at our Instructor Academy in Telford, Shropshire (near Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton). The course is £822+VAT (equivalent to £68.50 per person if you train 12 members of your team).
