How can I check forklift training certificates and qualifications are approved and recognised by the H & S Executive?

ACCEDITATION ADVICE RTITB accredited organisations, like Wallace School of Transport, are required to adhere to strict RTITB guidelines. Falling short in areas could result in a training organisation losing their accredited status. TRAINING OPTIONS All companies must ensure their operators have received training to meet the companies’ regulatory responsibilities, this could be delivered in three ways. Training On-site: • Could be provided by a member of staff (non-accredited) • Or, by hiring a Wallace instructor to deliver training at your premises and train your operators on site (accredited) • In-centre: Operators attend Wallace’s dedicated training centre, either paying for their own training, or being sponsored by their employer. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation (PUWER) state that employers have a responsibility to ensure everyone operating their machines receives adequate training for the purposes of health and safety. HSE provides guidance on this: ACoP L117 Rider Operated Lift Trucks: Operator Training and Safe Use. QUALITY TRAINING Employers, or individuals sponsoring their own training, can feel confident that when a training provider meets RTITB standards and issues NORS certificates then the right information and training will be provided. With Wallace, every individual operator’s application is submitted to RTITB’s NORS database which is checked and validated to ensure compliance with required standards. You can rest assured that accrediting through the UK’s leading Accreditation Body and an approved training school that you will be in safe hands
