Driving Sense
Driving Sense has adopted a ‘next level’ approach to forklift operator training and safety that is designed to reduce the risk associated with operating a lifting machine, while improving the overall operator’s skill.
Our aim is to provide organisations with a more productive workforce while ensuring the customer adheres to statutory and legislative requirements. On-site training is often the most effective way of training as the operator is trained on the type of equipment which is used by him in his work, and he learns to assess the risks in his own work environment. The National Code of Practice provides direction regarding the foundation for training of all lifting machine / equipment. By using an accredited training provider, you will be assured that the training given to your learners are aligned to the national/industry standard. Theoretical training forms the foundation of learner knowledge which is then applied in the practical application of operating the machines. The hours of training shall be according to the notional learner hours of the registered unit standard. However, operating a forklift machine is a relatively dangerous job. A forklift is a large, powerful industrial truck used to move and store materials safely and efficiently. Utilizing a competent operator will improve productivity in the workplace and reduce wear and tear on the machine.
Once the Operator has completed his training, employers are obligated to ensure that work is performed and machinery is used under the general supervision of a competent person (manager, supervisor; foreman etc). It is very important to note that lifting machinery falls into different categories as per their tonnage and specifications. Operators need to obtain a forklift license as per the Forklift Codes in the Driven machinery regulations. As an accredited provider, we are tasked with ensuring the learner is medically fit, provides scholastics as per the entry level of the SAQA unit standard and ID document.
This becomes a challenge when more often employees cannot provide scholastics. We would like to remind Employers that when training a new employee, please ensure that the person has the entry requirements.
