Complete Powerpoint slide presentation for forklift instructors. Ready made training course

accrediting bodies association workplace transport groupings

The ABA produce a list of groups for different types of forklift trucks which also includes Mobile Elevating Work Platforms and Tow Tractors. There are a large number of groups so the idea of this page is to try and simplify them and also associate them with RTITB's Trainer's Guides which are essential ammunition in an instructor's armory. You can also obtain my training slide set here which will give you a complete classroom Powerpoint classroom training course for use with most trucks.

The reason the ABA became involved was that, In 2010 the HSE held a conference to address the way forward for L117 Approved Code Of Practice. Subsequent consultation, led to the HSE deciding that it no longer felt it necessary to continue to recognise these bodies in L117 or manage the accrediting bodies scheme on a day to day basis. They wished to “hand the scheme back” to the bodies themselves to manage. Below is the basic list.
