Get started with MHE training today
MHE training gives operators the practical skills and knowledge to use materials handling equipment safely and confidently. For employers, effective training can support workplace safety, reduce operational risk, help extend equipment life and improve efficiency.
It can also help reduce accident-related costs, support lower insurance costs and improve overall productivity.
Choose training you can trust. As an RTITB Accredited Partner, Gi Group meets recognised standards for the delivery of workplace transport training. Our systems, facilities and training delivery are audited annually by RTITB. Clients can choose in-house training delivered to RTITB standards or request NORS Registered training.
Where NORS Registered training is selected, successful trainees are registered on NORS (the National Operator Registration Scheme) and receive a unique RTITB registration number, allowing their training record to be checked. This gives employers added confidence that training is standardised, quality assured and focused on safer MHE operation.
