Regular inspections and servicing of lifting equipment is a well-known part of the health and safety regulations, but it is also vital that staff using lifting equipment in the workshop are trained and competent.
Having staff trained will ensure safe and efficient operation of vehicle lifts, by using lifts correctly and ensuring that lifts are only used for the purpose they are designed for.
This can reduce potential damage to the lifting equipment and vehicles and reduce downtime in the workshop itself.
To this end, Totalkare has developed a new Competency in Vehicle Lifts Training course.
The course, which is now CPD-approved, covers such key subjects as the safe operation of equipment, pre-use checks, and the very latest updates on legislation such as PUWER and LOLER.
While the course content is relevant to any mobile column lifts, the functionality section relates specifically to Totalkare’s lifting equipment.
