    Course Description

    Course description

    Ride on Roller ticket training instructs learners on how to manoeuvre the roller safely. Ride on Roller operatives will become accustomed with the vehicle and its operating principles to improve performance and minimise risk of injury.

    In transit while on uneven groudn, Ride on Rollers can become unstable. Ride on Roller courses will address these issues and provide candidates with the knowledge to make informed decisions and operate safely if any given environment.

    Drivers should make use of trained Banksman when manoeuvring, responsibilities of which will be outlined during training. Ride on Roller training courses include refuelling procedures, regulations for travelling on the public highway and maintenance requirements of the plant machine.

    The ITSSAR Ride on Roller operator course meets the statutory requirements of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, and other relevant statutory provisions, and Approved Codes of Practice.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is there a minimum age requirement for completing Ride on Roller training?
    With the exception of Lift Truck operators, there is no minimum age outlined in any UK legislation for plant operators.

    Lift Truck operators in the UK must be over the minimum school leaving age (except in docks where they must be at least 18 years old).

    You can find out more here: HSE Workplace Transport FAQ.

    Is there an upper age limit for completing Ride on Roller driver training?
    No.
    Do I receive a Ride on Roller licence when I complete this training?
    There is no such thing as a Ride on Roller license for operating Ride on Rollers.

    The term ‘licence’ suggests a document issued from a governmental or other constituted authority to operate a Ride on Roller. No such authority exists; there are only accrediting bodies and training providers who operate independently of the HSE or any other government organisation.

    Successful candidates do receive a certificate and photo ID card, sometimes referred to as a Ride on Roller ticket; this provides evidence that the candidate has completed a Ride on Roller course and is certified to use the equipment as outlined on the Ride on Roller certification.
