Safe Use of Hand Held Hedge Cutters NPTC Level 2 Award
This qualification will appeal to those who use a forklift as part of their work in agriculture, horticulture or distribution and warehousing. It will cover the “basic training” requirements of the Approved Code of Practice for Rider Operated Forklift Trucks. This does not replace any legal requirement for a driving licence.
Course content
This course covers:
- Machine maintenance
- Site inspection
- Identification of hazards
- Environmental factors
- Safe use of equipment
- Machine after-care.
Assessment methods
The assessment will normally take place within 14 days of the training and covers the associated differences between use, operation and maintenance of the machine, pre-use maintenance and safety checks, recognition of controls and instruments. You will take a practical test where the forklift is driven around a suitable course and the operator will be required to move and stack various loads. The test will also include one to one verbal questioning.Qualifications
