We are pleased to announce our Refresher Training Reminders are now available, helping customers to meet requirements for safety and compliance.
For businesses with forklift trucks, ensuring employees receive refresher training and remain competent is vital to maintaining good practice. This is why we believe sending out automatic refresher reminders will help you manage the booking of this essential training and ensure it takes place in line with the company’s designated refresher policy.
Not only is refresher training a legal requirement under Approved Code of Practice L117, but it is also a crucial way to confirm employees remain competent. Regularly assessing operational ability helps to maintain safety, compliance and productivity on your site, which are all essential elements of successful operations.
How our Refresher Reminders work
A member of our dedicated team will issue your business a reminder, in the form of an email, when you have upcoming refresher training requirements for your operators. This will help to ensure you never fail to comply with legal safety and training requirements, while removing admin tasks that get in the way of other pressing matters.
Many companies operate a three or five-yearly policy, so the scheduling over such long periods can be difficult to manage, especially if personnel change within your booking team.
There are of course, instances where refreshers are needed outside of the standard period, but by alerting you to the bulk of periodic bookings, you can stay focused on any additional requirements.
Your refresher training policy must be based on a risk assessment
All businesses using MHE should have a refresher training policy in place, based on a specific risk assessment for their operations. This will help them to gain a good understanding of how frequently refresher training will need to be undertaken. The industry standard is between every three to five years, but in some cases, it can be required more frequently.
Once established, we can then use this information, alongside the records we keep on behalf of all customers, to issue reminders and help ensure important standards are maintained.
