Our Certification Process

Our courses are designed to ensure that operators and employees pass their training with confidence, enabling them to apply essential safety knowledge for their roles and jobs. Our courses follow a strict syllabus that adheres to industry standards, so you can have peace of mind that they are comprehensive and up-to-date with all safety regulations.

Upon completion of your course, whether Forklift Training, Manual Handling, Banksman/Yardman Training or Fire Safety Training participants will be awarded a certificate. Our training courses can be certified in two ways

  • In-House Certification

    This qualification is awarded by WS Forklift Training Services Essex LTD. While this certification provides proof of completion for many employers, it is best suited for businesses that require internal certification for operators working within a particular company.

  • Accredited Certification

    The Association of Industrial Truck Trainers is a leading body in forklift training certification. When you complete a course through WS Forklift Training Services Essex LTD, you can choose certification, which is widely recognised across the industry. Certification ensures that operators meet all necessary health and safety regulations and demonstrates that your training meets the highest standards of industry practice. This accreditation is particularly valuable if you plan to work for multiple employers or in industries that require certified operators with external recognition.

Why Certification Matters

Workplace Safety

Achieving certification from a professional training company ensures operators and employees are prepared and equipped for their roles. Our courses such as Forklift Training and Manual Handling ensure individuals are trained to handle forklifts and mechanical equipment safely, reducing accidents and injuries.

Safeguard Against Damage

Proper workplace training reduces the risk of damage to goods, equipment, infrastructure and more. This provides long-term benefits to any business such as minimising costly accidents, reducing the risk of insurance claims and avoiding downtime that comes with accidents, damage and injury.

Ensures Legal Compliance

Workplaces are subject to several regulations including The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (FSO). Adherence to these regulations is essential for many businesses and protects companies from potential legal claims and penalties.

Employee Morale & Productivity

Investing in professional training demonstrates a commitment to employee safety and creates a culture of safety within your business. This leads to a boost in not only employee morale, but productivity as staff members will be more skilled and confident in any role they undertake.
