I’m looking for some guidance please.
When providing training in equipment – specifically crane and forklift trucks (used in our yard), is there a legal requirement that the training must be undertaken by a third party? Or can a suitably competent person (Manager) carry out the training in-house for other employees?

At my last place the FLT & PPT training was all done in-house.
As long as the person is competent to deliver the training, there is no requirement for it to be outsourced. I would have the trainer accredited, ITSSAR perhaps.

I agree with Motorhead but would add, with reference to the original post, that the in-house trainer need not be a manager, just a competent trainer, competent in what is being trained.

hi,
in some cases like the work in a plant or in some construction a third party certificate that an operator is competent is a legal requirement. but some in house training is being done by a competent person also. in our case we require a third party certified trainer to give a training to our employee specially operator for crane and FL.
but i think it would depend on the situation.

Hi
At my current place of work our fork lift training is carried out by a competent person in-house. To ensure we comply with legislation we have based our course on ACoP L117 Rider-operated lift trucks; appendix 2 and 3 lists the objectives which should be included in a basic training course.
