To all of our customers,

Please note, all bookings will be subject to a mileage charge at the standard rate of £0.45p/ per mile from our registered address. Due to constant price rises from our suppliers, accredited bodies, etc, over the past 4 years, we can no longer absorb these increases, while still maintaining the high standards of service we supply. Adding a Mileage Charge, is the fairest way we could think of, to ensure our current competitive prices are maintained.

Please contact us if you have any further questions or concerns, we look forward to working with you all in 2024 and appreciate your understanding.

The HSE recently issued a statement (cleared on the 26th March) regarding COVID-19 and supplied guidance on training for rider-operated lift trucks (Fork lift trucks).

To help businesses follow the guidance as well as keep their operations safe and compliant, the key messages of the HSE statement are as follows;

Refresher training

Where the COVID-19 pandemic prevents safe access to re-qualification training, an employer may extend an operator’s refresher period by three months. This guidance applies to certificates expiring on or after 16th March 2020.

Employers needing to delay refreshers should be able to justify their reasons for doing so, as well as demonstrate any steps taken to undertake the training in the first instance.

Novice/Conversion training

The HSE have made clear that there can be no exceptions or exemptions for novice or conversion training. If a business needs an employee to operate a lift truck, they must be trained as per L117, even during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Theory session delivery

The HSE statement clarifies, “any training providers who are working with Key Workers should adjust their activities to follow Public Health England advice regarding good hygiene practices and separation distances, and if relevant accommodate any site-specific rules to manage the risk of COVID-19 infection”.

In practical terms, this means that theory sessions can be delivered, providing they are carried out in an area that allows suitable segregation of the minimum advised distance between all delegates and the Instructor, and that everyone follows the latest guidance surrounding hygiene and self-isolation on the onset of any potential COVID-19 symptoms.

Summary

If your business does require urgent training during this time, please contact us and we can discuss all of the options available. Our courses will only be undertaken in accordance with the latest HM Government, Public Health England & HSE guidance.
