D1 Reach Truck Refresher Training Course Details
Who is the D1 Reach Truck Refresher Training Course for?
The RTITB accredited D1 Reach Truck Refresher Training Courses in Wirral are designed for those who have previously received formal training on a D1 Reach Truck and have documentary evidence, such as an operator certificate or verifiable training record.
D1 Reach Truck Refresher Course – Eligibility
The RTITB and Health & Safety Executive (HSE) have set guidance and some eligibility criteria for attending these D1 Reach Truck Refresher Training Courses.
D1 Reach Truck Refresher Course – Eligibility Criteria
Experience Level – This D1 Reach Truck Refresher Training Courses in Wirral is for those who have previously received formal training on a D1 Reach Truck and have documentary evidence, such as an operator certificate or verifiable training record.
Age – To attend this D1 Reach Truck Refresher Training Courses in Wirral, and operate a D1 Reach Truck in the workplace, you must be at least school leaving age (16). Please note, subject to a risk assessment, if you are under the age of 18 you may need to be supervised in the workplace when using a D1 Reach Truck until you reach the age of 18. In addition, no person under the age of 18 can use a D1 Reach Truck on docks, or ports.
Language – The D1 Reach Truck Refresher Training Courses in Wirral has multiple classroom-based theory lessons throughout. A written theory test is also mandatory. In addition, the safe use of a D1 Reach Truck requires that the operator reads and understands any safety signs, local safety notices, and can thoroughly understand the manufacturer’s operator handbook for a D1 Reach Truck.
The practical training aspect of this D1 Reach Truck Refresher Course, and the mandatory practical test of operating skills, involves continuous verbal instructions that the trainee must be able to understand and act upon in a safe manner.
Therefore, good comprehension of English language and literacy are important for attending this D1 Reach Truck Refresher course.
Note – In extreme cases, an accredited translator can be used for the purposes of testing. The chosen translator must not be a candidate on the D1 Reach Truck Refresher course and must not alter the sense of any of the answers given by the candidate. If required, please seek legal advice on the use of an accredited translator.
Medical – There is currently no legislation or clear medical guidance available in relation to the specific use of a D1 Reach Truck. In general, we would apply the HSE principle that each person’s fitness for operating a D1 Reach Truck should be judged individually to ensure that people with disabilities are not disadvantaged but competence in an emergency must always be considered.
We would therefore generally follow the health guidance issued by the DVLA for Group 1 entitlement if the need arises to assess capabilities for operating a D1 Reach Truck.
Essentially, if you are not, or would not be restricted in obtaining a UK driving licence, then there should be no restrictions in operating a D1 Reach Truck in normal circumstances.
Note – All trainees are required to sign a medical declaration at the beginning of these D1 Reach Truck Refresher courses.
Driving Licence – You do not need a driving licence (car licence) to attend this D1 Reach Truck Refresher Course, nor do you need a driving licence to operate a D1 Reach Truck on business premises (unless it is taken onto a public road).

Note – Your RTITB instructor will identify and explain all potential safety faults throughout the duration of your D1 Reach Truck Refresher Training Course and will deliver corrective training on each as they occur.
