 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andy was extremely patient and thorough. We had many technical issues with a new piece of kit and site and helped us navigate the issues and stuck with it. Everyone got trained who needed to be trained in a timely manner.
I would recommend Andy as a trainer

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really positive experience learning to operate the novice counterbalance and pivot truck. Keith was knowledgeable, patient and professional throughout the training, and explained everything clearly and in a way that was easy to understand.

He created a relaxed and supportive learning environment, which really helped build my confidence, particularly when learning new manoeuvres and techniques. He was always happy to answer questions and took the time to make sure I understood both the practical and safety aspects of operating the trucks.

Overall, I found the training very informative, enjoyable and confidence-building. I would definitely recommend the instructor to anyone looking to complete this type of training.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Did a refresher course on the counterbalance with Keith yesterday, it went very well, instructions were easy to understand and was helpful throughout the whole day, also great at keeping you calm as it can be very nerve racking.

Importance of Training

In the workplace, lift trucks can be dangerous if they are not controlled correctly. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), around 8,000 accidents are reported each year which involve a forklift truck. This figure represents 25% of all workplace accidents which is a shocking statistic. This includes injuries to people, damage to equipment, as well as death.

In a large number of cases, it is the driver who is to blame. As an employer of a facility which uses trucks, it is up to you to ensure that your drivers have the correct forklift training. Doing this makes sure that they are those around them are safe, reducing the risk of accidents on site.

Mobile Elevated Work Platforms

MEWPs are used in a large number of industries to provide fast and safe access to hard to reach areas. Whilst this is a secure working platform, if they are not controlled properly they can easily become overloaded. The Health and Safety at Work Act requires workers and employers to be trained when operating a mobile elevated work platform. It is important to follow the latest guidelines as this keeps you and everyone around you safe at all times.

Whether you are a first time operator or have years of experience, the courses offered are ideal. Some include retesting, familiarisation on new equipment, conversion to other types of MEWP, as well as an assessment of their driving skills.

Below are a few of the platforms that we can train you on using:

Articulated Boom
Lorry Mounted
Mast Climbers
Self Propelled
Scissor Lift
Trailer Mounted

The time that these training courses take will vary on the experience and skill level of the trainee. For any further details, please feel free to get in contact with us.
