» Ensure your staff are properly trained by attending one of Calor's Safe Refuelling Courses
For customers installing bulk tanks to power their LPG forklift trucks, Calor have developed formalised, safe refuelling training courses which new and existing bulk customers can take advantage of. There are two levels of training that Calor can provide for companies:
- Level 1. Operator Safe Refuelling Course
- Level 2. Instructor Safe Refuelling Course
The Safe Refuelling Instruction course is designed for people who carry out refuelling duties on LPG powered forklift trucks utilising Calor hand operated units (HDUs) or, electric dispenser units (EDUs). It is a short three-hour course delivered at a location to suit the recipient company.
Instruction involves a mix of both theory and practical elements and delegates are required to demonstrate an understanding of the instruction given and complete a written assessment.
The more extensive Instructor Refuelling Course is designed for people who may themselves be required to carry out instruction to forklift truck operators in the safe use of Calor LPG HDU or EDU dispensing equipment.
This full one day course is a mix of theory and practical exercises where delegates are required to take on board technical and safety information. Delegates are asked to carry out an instruction exercises to demonstrate competence using the Calor instruction package and complete a written assessment. Successful delegates receive a certificate of competence and become a Calor approved forklift truck LPG refuelling instructor and are able to use the Calor Instruction package within their own companies.
The course is ideally suited to be run at a customer’s own premises where a suitable training environment and refuelling equipment is available. Calor’s training sessions are held throughout the year.
To support these training courses Calor has also produced a pocket sized booklet called A Guide to Safe Refuelling for operators, available to both new and existing customers. This covers personal safety, hazardous places and area classification, housekeeping, cylinder storage, separation distances, installations, refuelling instructions, manual handling and action in an emergency.
At Calor we are committed to ensuring both new and existing customers are trained to the highest possible levels and aim to work in partnership with them to ensure safe refuelling procedures are followed every time.
