Mechanical handling equipment safety training, Forklift training and manual handling training and Health and Safety courses by Lift Instruct, Gloucestershire.
Lift Instruct are based in Gloucester and we organise forklift training courses at our clients own premises throughout Gloucestershire and the south-west of England and at our forklift training centre in Stonehouse. Our forklift and mechanical handling courses cover most types of mechanical handling equipment, manual handling safety training and health and safety. We also undertake workplace risk assessments, write safe working practises, employee handbook provision and health & safety matters.
We find that the training of operators in their own working environment is the most effective way to learn to use mechanical lifting and manual handling equipment, safely.
Operators are trained on the lifting equipment, forklifts and handling equipment they know and with loads which they are familiar with.

What you need to do.
For all on-site training we ask our clients to provide is a suitable area for practical training, the appropriate type of mechanical handling equipment, such as a forklift to train on, suitable loads to handle and an indoor facility for presenting theoretical training.
We must never underestimate the power of the operator or the machine, operators must get trained, operators must be trained the right way and operators must always be safe.
