The HSE guidance and industry standards recommend refresher training every 3 to 5 years, which the forklift accrediting bodies adhere to.
The HSE states, employers need to ensure that anyone who operates a forklift receives adequate training under Regulation 9 of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
When forklift refresher training is booked we would require a copy of the certificate to be sent back with the booking form to secure the training.
If the delegate does not have a certificate or is over 5 years they would need to complete Forklift Experienced training which covers additional areas to ensure the delegates are competent in using the truck.
Training Duration for Forklift Experience training:
2 days for 1 to 2 delegates max
3 days for 2 delegates max
Below is a description of the differences between novice, experienced, refresher and conversion training
Novice Training: Is for individuals who have no experience of operating a forklift truck.
Experienced Training: Is for individuals who are regularly operating a forklift truck without a certification or the certificate is over 5 years.
Refresher Training: Is for individuals looking to refresher current skills on a forklift truck . The certification must be within 5 years.
Conversion Training: Is for individuals who are looking to gain training on a different forklift truck, converting from one forklift truck to another. The forklift truck certification must be within 5 years.
All the delegate need to be the same level for the training, for example for novice training all the delegates need to have no experience. It is important the delegates receive the right type of training, especially novice training, as safety is paramount.
