Compliance & Safety Framework

All MHE Onsite Training courses are designed and delivered to meet UK Health & Safety legislation, HSE guidance, and RTITB training standards.

HSE ACOP L117

Rider-Operated Lift Trucks: Operator Training

Our curriculum follows the HSE's Approved Code of Practice L117, which sets the benchmark for forklift operator training in the UK. All assessments and practical demonstrations align with HSE expectations.

  • Stability and load handling theory
  • Pre-use inspection procedures
  • Site-specific hazard identification
  • Legal responsibilities (HSWA 1974)

PUWER 1998

Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations

PUWER requires employers to ensure all work equipment operators are properly trained and supervised. Our training provides the formal instruction needed to satisfy PUWER compliance for your business.

  • Equipment maintenance awareness
  • Safe handling procedures
  • Operator competence assessment

LOLER 1998

Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations

Lifts and lifting equipment must be thoroughly examined. Our training covers LOLER pre-use inspection protocols so operators understand when equipment is safe to use and how to report defects.

  • Defect reporting procedures
  • Load chart interpretation
  • Thorough examination intervals

RTITB Training Standards

Material Handling Equipment Operator Training

Our instructor holds a current RTITB Level 3 certification and delivers training to RTITB competency benchmarks, though courses are not RTITB-accredited (see certificates below).

  • Standardized assessment criteria
  • Practical & theory evaluation
  • 3-day Novice minimum (32.5 hrs)

Course Certificates

MHE Onsite Training issues site-specific certificates of competence. These are not RTITB-accredited certificates, but they are fully recognized within your organization and by HSE inspection. Certificates state clearly that training was delivered by an RTITB-certified instructor and covers HSE ACOP L117 competencies.

Why site-specific? Because all training is delivered on-site with your equipment and your site-specific rules. Certificates reflect the actual forklift and working environment your operators will use every day.
