The trainees will undergo formal in-class training in association with unit standard 23637 before being assessed. This will be followed by the practical aspects of operating a Telehandler. The trainee will be able to demonstrate the appropriate responsibilities of a telehandler operator with an emphasis on accident prevention and operator responsibility.
Operate a Telehandler Training
NZQA 23637 - Operate a telehandler - Level 3, 20 Credits
Key Learning Objectives:
Theory and practical lessons will include the following:
- Hazard controls are described in accordance with company requirements
- Telehandler and attachments are checked and prepared before use
- Operate a telehandler; and
- Carry out post-operational procedures
- Describe the operation of telehandlers
- Prepare for telehandler operations
- Operate a telehandler on a worksite
- Complete post-operational procedures for a telehandler
PRE-REQUISITE:
To hold a current driver's license appropriate to the weight range of the Telehandler Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) driven, including a current license endorsement for on-road use (i.e. an F or W Endorsement will be required dependent on the attachments used on the Telehandler).
- W Endorsement required if attachments are Hooks, Buckets, Jibs
- F Endorsement required if attachments are Forks, Man-cages
Telehandler Refresher Training
The criteria for the telehandler refresher course remains the same as previously, the learner must already hold the Unit Standards they are refreshing.
Refresher training is not a legal requirement; however, it is strongly recommended to ensure compliance with the Health & Safety Legislation and its industry "good practice" guidelines.
It is generally seen as good work practice that trainees refresh these unit standards every 3 years. The duration of this course is 4 hours and will cover the unit Standards and a practical exercise to reinforce the trainee's knowledge of Operating a Telehandler correctly. (The practical exercise can be replaced with our Workplace verifier process - This process is simple; a workplace verifier confirms the competency of the learner performing the tasks being refreshed by completing our Attestation form).
