Training
The Outreach Training Division is committed to promoting safe working practice through comprehensive training and customer education. All training courses delivered by Outreach Ltd are recognised by the Health and Safety Executive and are nationally or internationally accredited.
Effective training is vital because the improper use of lifting or access equipment can result in dangerous circumstances. It is essential that operating personnel possess the correct knowledge and skills to ensure operator safety and the safety of others.
Failure to understand and comply with current legislation and regulations can result in prosecution and even imprisonment. We believe fervently that the safe, effective operation of potentially dangerous equipment should be second nature to all who plan, supervise and operate in such circumstances.
Outreach Training offers comprehensive, high quality courses providing trainees with certification under internationally recognised standards. The company is reviewing and updating courses constantly. Its current range includes courses accredited by IPAF, ALLMI, PASMA, LOLER and Driver CPC as well as specialised training for the offshore sector.
Current Legislation and Regulations
All those responsible for operation of lifting, handling and access equipment should be aware of current legislation and regulations relating to the safe and proper use of the equipment. This includes:
- The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that all people at work should receive adequate information, instruction, training and supervision
- The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 states that workers using any equipment must be properly trained to do so.
- The Work at Height Regulations 2005 state that no person should work at height unless they are competent to do so.
- The Lifting Operations Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) set out an approved code of practice for ensuring every lifting operation is properly planned, appropriately supervised and carried out safely.
