Surrey Telehandler Training Courses

Surrey Telehandler Training Courses - The employer has the responsibility to make sure that their personnel are trained to work proficiently with telehandler machines. The workers have to be assessed for their ability to utilize the equipment. If deficiencies are found, employers need to provide training so that workers attain the required level of skill. The level of responsibility of the individual should be taken into account when training is provided. Effective training will solve whatever deficiencies in the understanding, knowledge and skills of telehandler supervisors and operators. Training could be undertaken by engaging the services of an external training provider or through in-house sessions. An assessment at the completion of the training period will determine whether or not the learning goals have been met.

Guidelines and regulations for the basic telehandler operator training and testing are set by state/provincial, local and federal regulators. Basic training does not address such topics as the lifting of people, the lifting of suspended loads, the use of rotating equipment or utilizing different attachments. Further training must be undertaken if such tasks are needed on the work place.

Inspection and maintenance
Like whatever machine, a telehandler needs effective maintenance. The equipment inevitably would suffer wear eventually. Right maintenance is important to ensuring safe use of the telehandler machine. Inspections and checks are essential to ongoing maintenance procedures. Operators must have machine-specific training in order to monitor, prevent and rectify problems connected with deterioration, damage and wear. Personnel require experience and competence in both periodic and breakdown maintenance. The preventive maintenance instructions of the manufacturer must be seriously viewed and followed, considering such factors as environmental circumstances in the work setting and frequency of use.

The responsibility for making sure that the telehandler and its attachments are in good working order lies with both the owner and the user of the equipment. General maintenance is usually performed by the telehandler owner whereas pre-use checks are normally carried out by the user.
