Barrie Telehandler Training Courses

Barrie Telehandler Training Courses - Employers are responsible for making certain that their operating personnel and supervisors are trained to work proficiently utilizing telehandler machines. The competence level of employees should be assessed. If deficiencies are found, employers must provide training so that staff obtain the required level of ability. The responsibility level of the individual must be taken into account when training is provided. Effective training would solve any deficiencies in the skills, understanding and knowledge of telehandler supervisors and operators. Training may be undertaken through in-house session or by hiring an external training provider. An assessment at the completion of the training period will determine whether or not the learning objectives have been met.

Guidelines and regulations for the basic telehandler operator training and testing are set by state/provincial, local and federal regulators. Basic training does not address such topics as the lifting of people, the lifting of suspended loads, the use of rotating equipment or the use of other attachments. Further training will have to be undertaken if such tasks are required on the work site.

Maintenance and Inspection
Like any machinery, a telehandler needs effective maintenance. The machine inevitably will suffer wear sooner or later. Right maintenance is important to ensuring safe utilization of the telehandler machinery. Checks and inspections are vital to ongoing maintenance procedures. Operators must have machine-specific training in order to rectify, monitor and prevent problems associated with damage, wear and deterioration. Staff require experience and competence in both breakdown and periodic maintenance. The manufacturer's preventative maintenance instructions should be viewed seriously and followed, considering such factors as frequency of use and environmental circumstances in the work setting.

The user of the machinery along with the owner of the machine share the responsibility for making sure that the telehandler is in full working condition. General maintenance is normally performed by the telehandler owner while pre-use inspections are typically carried out by the user.
