Training at your site or ours

Conducting lift truck courses and training on other types of mechanical handling equipment at the customer’s premises is an option available to all our commercial clients. This option is based on the assumption that clients can provide a practical training area and an indoor space for classroom purposes.

As the region’s largest forklift training provider, we can also offer our private and corporate clients a purpose-built training facility at BJB Lift Trucks which is equipped with plant machinery, designated training areas and spacious classroom environments.

Why train at your own site

Using operators that are trained in an environment and use equipment they are familiar with.
Offering potential improvements in operator performance and productivity.
If required, instructors can highlight site specific safety and operational considerations that may help reduce risk, reduce accidents, reduce damage to equipment, reduce damage to stock and
generally promote best practice methods of operation.
Minimising staff absence from the work environment.

Training should be at the top of any employer’s list.

Accidents involving forklift trucks and other plant equipment still occur frequently, with many leading to serious injury and, in some cases, fatalities.

All companies that operate Health and Safety and Risk Assessment policies are legally obliged to ensure their staff receives the appropriate training.

Caring for staff and their welfare

Employers responsibilities under section 2 of HASAWA state that employers must, so far as is reasonably practicable;

Ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees.
Provide and maintain safe plant and safe systems of work.
Ensure the safe handling storage and transportation of articles and substances.
Provide information, instruction, training and supervision.
