NPORS Support and standards you can count on

09/10/2026

According to the HSE, lift trucks are involved in about a quarter of all workplace transport accidents.*

NPORS accredited lift truck training and testing caters for both novice and experienced operators. Even the most experienced lift truck operator can slip into non-compliant habits due to work pressure and complacency.

Skills may open doors but keeping them up to date keeps you moving forward.

This week marks Dyslexia Awareness Week and we wanted to acknowledge how important it is that training and testing support operators with dyslexia properly.

Dyslexia doesn’t limit someone’s ability to be a safe, skilled and competent operator, it simply means some parts of learning need to be approached differently.

At NPORS, we design training and assessment so that every learner can show their competence clearly and confidently. Clear instructions, practical learning and a supportive network of instructors help make that possible.

This week is a reminder that good training works for everyone - and that different ways of thinking strengthen our industry.

Last week we attended Lincolnshire Construction & Engineering Week at Lincolnshire Showground, where more than 1,500 students from across the county explored the wide range of careers available in construction and engineering.

We were proud to represent the plant sector, with the NPORS Simulator giving school and college students an immersive, fun and safe introduction to operating plant machinery. The simulator proved incredibly popular, with constant engagement across all three days and plenty of future operators keen to get behind the controls.

Thank you to the organisers, schools and partners involved. Particular thanks to Daniel Charles Construction Ltd, Daniel Charles Surveys and McGovern Assessments.
