Following extensive work by ALLMI’s Technical and Training Committees, ALLMI has produced a Training Scheme and Competency Assessment for the Thorough Examination and Testing of Lorry Loaders.

The course is tailored for individuals wanting to perform Thorough Examinations and Load Tests or for people already performing functions in this area, but who wish to sharpen their skills and also achieve certification.  This course is available to employees of ALLMI manufacturer / service company members only.

The course modules are:

Every candidate attending the course will receive the ALLMI Examiner’s manual, which will act as a reference guide throughout their career as an Examiner.  All successful candidates will also be registered on the ALLMI Examiner database and will be issued with an identity card and certificate confirming their status as an ALLMI accredited Examiner.

The course duration is two days, with a maximum of four candidates to every course.

The price of the course is just £282.75 per person (inclusive of the Examiner’s manual, certificate, identity card and registration).   

Every course candidate must have the following:

• Two years’ experience with lorry loaders or similar lifting equipment.
• The candidate must have been employed by their current employer (the ALLMI member company) for at least six months.

Also, in order to achieve certification, the candidate must hold an ALLMI Operator’s licence.  However, if it is more convenient for you, it is possible for a candidate to attend the course prior to obtaining this qualification (it must be emphasised that ALLMI will not issue certification for the Thorough Examination and Load Test training course until the Operator’s licence has been achieved).

ALLMI does not request that course candidates hold a Slinger / Signaller qualification, but it is strongly recommended that employers consider this if the person in question is dealing with slings / chains when performing their duties.  If you would like to know more about the ALLMI Slinger / Signaller course, then please contact the ALLMI office.
