What the N138 telehandler suspended loads test covers
Across the categories covered by the NPORS learning outcomes this page draws on, the assessments follow a similar shape: safety law and the operator’s duties, the manufacturer’s handbook, the main parts and controls, PPE, pre-use and running checks and reporting defects, getting on and off, starting, stopping and travelling, checks of the work area, the work itself, loading and unloading for transport, and shutting down and making the machine secure.
The NPORS learning outcomes this page draws on do not include N138, so the detail for this category is not set out here.
Ray will confirm exactly what the N138 assessment covers when you call, before anything is booked. On the same call, Ray will confirm what you need in place on the day, including which telehandler will be used, any lifting accessories and the space needed on site.
Experienced worker test or novice course
If you already operate a telehandler day to day, the experienced worker test is the usual route. If you are new to the machine, a novice course is the starting point, and Ray will confirm which fits when you call. NPORS, not Ray, set which card applies, the traditional NPORS card or the CSCS red or blue card.
Experienced worker test
For operators with real experience on a telehandler. Assessed on your own machine at your own site.
