THE BASICS.

The Transport Safety at Work Course ensures that businesses and their employees meet the requirements stated under current legislation.

Forklift truck, lorries, vans, cars, mobile equipment and other specialist vehicles present particular risks in a working environment.

COURSE DURATION.

The estimated duration of this course is 2 hours. Candidates may log in and out of the system and therefore do not need to complete the course in a single sitting. Learner course progress is automatically saved, so that they may return to the course whenever they wish and as a result course completion is entirely in the hands of the learner.

COURSE ACCESS.

Learners receive 90 days access to the course materials from the date of registration, therefore the course can be completed straightaway or at ones leisure.  Learners receive individual login details and can access the course using any device, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  This provides learners with the flexibility to train on the go, whenever and wherever they wish and as a result provides a more economical training option for businesses small and large.

Candidates who are registered by their manger using the GROUP option will receive 90 days course access from the date an account is assigned to them, therefore allowing businesses to purchase multiple user accounts, safe in the knowledge that they will not expire until they are assigned to learners.

Course access ceases immediately following a successful final exam submission, thereafter course materials can not be viewed.

WHO REQUIRES THIS COURSE.

The Transport Safety at Work course has been designed for all who encounter vehicles in the workplace.  It is a useful resource for  employers wishing to reduce the risk of workplace accidents,  for operators of  on-site vehicles, and other employees who may come into contact with work vehicles as pedestrians.

Consists of 4 core units, concluded by a final exam:

UNIT 1 – LEGISLATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES.
UNIT 2 – PEOPLE SAFETY.

Each unit consists of topics and interim quizzes which must be completed prior to progress.  At each stage learners must click a ‘MARK COMPLETE’ button to progress. This serves as a means by which course progress can be tracked and is particularly useful in situations where learners are enrolled by a manager.
