THE NEED FOR TRAINING

Legal obligations

There are several different regulations that have been put into place over the years relating to workplace safety and the use of work equipment. These include but are not limited to:

P.U.W.E.R. This stands for Provision and Use of Workplace Equipment Regulations. This has been in place since 1998 a detailed description can be found @ https://www.hse.gov.uk/work-equipment-machinery/puwer.htm

L.O.L.E.R. This stands for Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations and has also been in place since 1998. More details can be found @ https://www.hse.gov.uk/work-equipment-machinery/loler.htm

There is also an Approved Code of Practice published by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) titled L117 Rider-Operated Lift Trucks that also covers pedestrian operators. This sets out the best practice guidelines that we are expected to follow and is available as a free download @ https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/l117.htm
