Morning All,

I am attempting to put together a business case to justify training an employee up as an in-house FLT trainer.
Rather than relying on external training providers as we do now, I feel this could prove to be cost effective in the long run.

Is anyone aware of any case law that may help to support my argument please?

Also, your experience/opinions on whether this is considered to be best practice?

Regards

Boony,

There is no case law that I know of regarding this matter.

An in-house trainer has a number of advantages:

1. (S)he will have intimate knowledge and experience of your equipment, site conditions and operations.

2. (S)he will be able to train people on site without loss of time.

3. (S))he will be able to test and retrain as appropriate; if you do (and you should) carry out post training evaluations at 1, 3, 6 and 12 monthly intervals (and after any near misses and accidents) - you can quickly correct any bad habits before they become institutionalised or lead to an accident.

4. Its cheaper - if you train regularly!
