Posted By Tony W I have recently had involvement with a company concerning training for FLT operators. This was fairly straightforward until the issue of training for (ride-on) powered pallet trucks (or 'ped-ops') arose. I was, and still am certain that suitable training must be provided for operators. The company concerned initially disagreed but were eventually persuaded. Training was subsequently carried out by a RTITB trainer. I have since made enquiries about this subject and it appears that it is not universally agreed that ped-op training is legally required. Any comments?

Posted By stephen j mills Tony,
The ACoP and Guidance document L117 - 'Rider operated lift trucks: Operator training' covers this at paragraph 22:
'Operators of types of lift truck not covered by this guidance will also need training. In some cases, for instance pedestrian/rider-operated pallet trucks, this may follow a similar approach, but in others, such as straddle carriers, a very different training programme will be needed......etc'
Appendix 1 also gives a list of recognised accrediting bodies.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Steve
