Grande Prairie Telehandler Training Courses

Grande Prairie Telehandler Training Courses - Employers are responsible for making sure that their operating personnel and supervisors are trained to work competently making use of telehandler equipment. The competence level of staff must be assessed. If deficiencies are found, employers need to provide training so that staff attain the needed level of skill. The level of responsibility of the person needs to be considered when training is offered. Effective training would solve any deficiencies in the skills, understanding and knowledge of telehandler operators and supervisors. Training may be undertaken through in-house session or by hiring an external training provider. An assessment at the completion of the training period would determine whether or not the learning objectives have been met.

Local, federal and state/provincial rules set out guidelines for basic telehandler operator testing and training. Basic training does not address such topics as the lifting of people, the lifting of suspended loads, the use of other attachments, or the utilization of rotating machinery. Further training would have to be undertaken if such tasks are needed on the work place.

Inspection and maintenance
Like any machinery, a telehandler needs effective maintenance. The machinery inevitably will suffer wear eventually. Correct maintenance is essential to ensuring safe utilization of the telehandler machinery. Checks and inspections are important to ongoing maintenance measures. Operators need to have machine-specific training in order to rectify, monitor and prevent problems associated with damage, wear and deterioration. Personnel need competence and experience in both breakdown and periodic maintenance. The preventive maintenance instructions of the manufacturer should be seriously viewed and complied with, considering such factors as environmental conditions in the work setting and frequency of use.

The user of the machinery along with the owner of the equipment share the responsibility for making certain that the telehandler is in full working condition. Pre-use checks are normally done by the user, whereas general maintenance is normally carried out by the telehandler owner.
