Operator training

Operator training:

Safety in the use of work equipment is of course due to compliance with design rules, technical requirements and the need to use equipment suited to the tasks to be performed. But the training of the operators responsible for using and maintaining these equipments is equally fundamental. The driving of certain equipment also requires driving authorization.

Whatever the work equipment, its users must receive information and appropriate training to carry out their activities without risk.

These actions concern all workers, including new hires, occasional staff (apprentices, trainees, temporary workers, etc.) and maintenance staff (including external service providers). Workers assigned to the maintenance and modification of work equipment must also be aware of the requirements to be met, the conditions for carrying out the work and the equipment and tools to be used.

TRAINING FOR BETTER OWNERSHIP OF PREVENTION

Initial, adapted and high-quality training reduces the risk of accidents related to the use of gear or equipment (especially those most at risk, such as mobile machinery or lifting equipment). It makes it possible to make known and apply the basic rules of safety.

It must be supplemented and updated as often as necessary, in order to take account in particular of the evolutions of the corresponding equipment and techniques. It is up to the employer to choose, and hence responsibility for, the terms and conditions of the training. It must also ensure that evidence of the completion of training activities is retained.

A DRIVING LICENSE REQUIRED FOR 6 CATEGORIES OF EQUIPMENT:

THE DRIVING AUTHORIZATION IS ISSUED TO THE WORKER BY THE EMPLOYER ON THE BASIS OF AN ASSESSMENT BASED ON:

An aptitude test carried out by the occupational physician, which may be carried out during the periodic medical examination,
A control of the operator’s knowledge and know-how (theoretical test and practical tests) for the safe operation of the work equipment concerned,
A knowledge of the places and instructions to be respected on the site (s) of use.
The employer makes this authorization available to the Labor Inspectorate and Prevention Services of the CRAM, CARSAT or CGSS.

CERTIFICATE OF FITNESS FOR SAFE DRIVING (CACES):

In order to provide companies with information to evaluate or have assessed the knowledge and skills of drivers for the issue of driving licenses, CNAMTS has set up the CACES system. This standard is recognized by the Ministry of Labor as a good means of fulfilling the requirements for the control of the operator’s knowledge and know-how for safe driving.

The CACES is based on 6 recommendations from the CNAMTS (one for each family of gears concerned), which define a reference system for the theoretical and practical tests to be carried out. Successful completion of these assessment tests results in the issuance of a certificate of fitness for safe driving.

The evaluation is carried out by testers, who are periodically verified by the testers, who work exclusively within or on behalf of certified testers.

Les organismes testeurs sont eux-mêmes titulaires d’une qualification délivrée par un organisme certificateur de qualification. Ces derniers sont accrédités par le Comité français d’accréditation (COFRAC) et conventionnés par la CNAMTS.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CNAMTS ON CACES:

These recommendations give the objectives to be attained for obtaining this certificate, using knowledge repositories and evaluation sheets. They do not describe the training: the content and duration must be adapted to the candidate, as practical experience can be taken into account.

A Frequently Asked Questions about CACES complements the provisions of the recommendations. Regularly updated, it is an integral part of the CNAMTS repository and provides answers to the most frequently asked questions.

OTHER RECOMMENDATION OF CNAMTS:

Recommendations exist for the use of other equipment families subject to training obligations but not covered by the regulatory requirement for the issuance of a driving license. They are therefore not part of the CACES framework.

Other Safe Driving Recommendations
Means of electrical handling with accompanying driver : R 366
Risks due to Thrust and / or manual traction handling means (hand pallet trucks …): R 367
Overhead cranes, gantries and semi-gantries : R 423
