Vaughan Telehandler Training Courses

Vaughan Telehandler Training Courses - The employer has the responsibility to make certain that their employees are trained to work proficiently making use of telehandler machines. The personnel need to be assessed for their ability to make use of the machinery. If deficiencies are found, employers should provide training so that staff obtain the necessary level of ability. The responsibility level of the person should be taken into account when training is provided. Effective training would remedy whatever deficiencies in the knowledge, skills and understanding of telehandler operators and supervisors. Training can 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 goals have been met.

Federal, state/provincial and local rules set out guidelines for basic telehandler operator testing and training. Basic training does not deal with such topics as the lifting of suspended loads, the lifting of people, the utilization of rotating machinery or the use of various attachments. Further training must be undertaken if such tasks are needed on the work location.

Inspection and maintenance
The telehandler needs routine maintenance like any other machine. The machinery will wear out over time, so proper maintenance is required to ensure the safe use of the telehandler machine. Inspections and checks are vital to ongoing maintenance measures. Operators should have machine-specific training in order to prevent, rectify and monitor problems associated with damage, wear and deterioration. Personnel need competence and experience in both breakdown and periodic maintenance. The preventive maintenance directions of the manufacturer must be viewed seriously and followed, taking into account such factors as environmental circumstances in the work setting and frequency of use.

The user of the machine along with the owner of the equipment share the responsibility for ensuring that the telehandler is in full working condition. General maintenance is normally performed by the telehandler owner whereas pre-use inspections are normally performed by the user.
