Training

We have always firmly believed that well trained and competent staff are the key to Safety, Profitability and Customer Satisfaction and for this reason our staff are qualified in all the relevant Industry standards.

In view of the ever increasing regulations and obligations that apply to lifting operations most operatives will hold CPCS cards for Lorry Loader, Slinger Signaller, Forklift IPAF & PASMA and in addition to this most of them will also have qualified as Appointed Persons as well.

All drivers are also ADR qualified to enable them to carry dangerous goods and every member of Staff will also have qualified as a First Aid Appointed Persons as well.

Whilst we recognise that these standards are accepted by the industry they do however fall far below the level that we require operating our bigger Hiab cranes and other specialised equipment. For this reason we have a robust Induction and training regime that will elevate out staff to our requirements and it takes anything up to 6 months before we will be happy with their performance.

We have for some years and long before the new CPCS system had been using our own in house log sheets that records each task new drivers carry out. We then have assessments against given criteria that the operator may request when they feel they are ready. Once they have achieved a particular task level, they can then drop the need to log this activity and the process will be repeated until they achieve a pass level in every standard.

We will also hold in house training schemes that relate to a particular job or Contract so that we iron out all the problems before we arrive on site to ensure we keep you on schedule.

In addition to this we also train our men to ensure they look after number one, you our clients so you will find all our staff motivated, eager and willing to get the job done. The words “We can’t Do this” have been banned from our vocabulary.

We do also have an in house IPAF & PASMA trainer and we are a registered PASMA training centre and would be pleased to hear from you if you have a requirement for this service.
