Typical plant operator scenarios on Tullos sites

Scenario 1
Cross-training a yard hand from forklift to telehandler safely
Scenario 2
Refresher for an experienced operator whose ticket lapsed three years ago
Scenario 3
New-machine familiarisation when a depot adds an unfamiliar make/model

Audit findings this prevents

'Experienced worker' card issued without an actual practical observation
Refresher pushed past expiry — auditor finds it on the wrong day
Single ticket assumed to cover a different category of the same machine type

Why this matters

70%+

of UK plant incidents involve operators carrying a ticket — competence ≠ a card.
