People lose skills if they do not use them regularly. An ongoing program of training and refresher training will usually be necessary for all drivers and other employees, to make sure their skills continue to be up to date.
650 Even if drivers often operate vehicles, we recommend regular refresher training to make sure that drivers:
                   •       maintain good driving habits;
                   •       learn new skills where appropriate; and
                   •       reassess their abilities.
651 You should consider a gap between training and refresher training of between three to five years, depending on the risks. Some companies provide refresher training more often than this.

Experienced Operators to be Refreshed
There is now a strong guide line to provide refresher training after set intervals, as even trained and experienced lift-truck operators need to be re-assessed from time to time, to ensure that they continue to operate lift trucks safely. This assessment, which should form part of a firm’s normal monitoring procedure, and be formally time-tabled, to ensure that it is done at suggested regular intervals indicating when and what type of further training may be needed. In addition to routine safety monitoring, re-assessment might be appropriate where operators have not used trucks for some time, are occasional users, appear to have developed unsafe working practices, have had an accident or near miss, or there is a change in their working practices or environment. Employers are advised to have a central recording system for training records and this should include re-assessment in safety training using these records.  Employers can, of course, decide that automatic retraining after a set period of time is the best way of ensuring that employees are adequately trained but, where this approach is adopted, it will still be necessary to monitor performance in case re-training is required before the set period ends. The guiding principle is that employers need to maintain the competence of operators to use lift trucks safely through a laid down, formal process of monitoring and assessment.

When the  Workplace transport safety (Employers' guide) was issued it stated a gap of 3-5 years should be considered  as a recommendation when an operators driving skills may need to be assessed. It is also recommended for operators who are coming back to driving after a lay off period, or have not driven for a while, or just need reminding of safe driving practices attends this course.

Our recommendation to you is.....
This course can be used to maintain a high standard of skill level. we try to encourage this from your drivers. We even have a scheme where we award a special prize to your best driver of that batch of refreshers. (A model fork lift !! What Else??) This is only done by prior arrangement with you.  Some firms have a rolling policy of training so that every employee required to drive will have a refresher every 3-5 years of their career with that company. We can administer a rolling training program for you. That may full-fill your training needs.

For all other classes the ITSSAR standards test will be applied where appropriate. Operators are issued with an encapsulated wallet and full sized certificate. Companies are issued with an A4 sized certificate, the trainees original practical and theoretical test marking sheet, course record and written trainee report where appropriate, as proof of training.
