National Plant Operators Registration Scheme

National Plant Operators Registration Scheme

Collins Training is an accredited training provider with instructors able to deliver training and testing for operators on industrial, construction and power work equipment.

Why NPORS

Since NPORS was formed in 1992 it has worked hard to ensure that appropriate training and assessments are being delivered to employers in the construction, utilities, distribution and warehousing, ports and marine, rail and agricultural secors. NPORS have currently registered over 160,000 operators who have been employed across all UK industry sectors. The Health & Safety Executive recognise NPORS training providers as competent to training, test and certificate operators.

NPORS objectives

The main objective of NPORS is to allow a flexible approach to meet the needs of the employer and to help and assist in providing an adequately trained workforce. The NPORS operator registration card is produced for an individual who has successfully completed practical and knowledge assessments of the categories shown on the back of the card.

This shows that they have achieved a level of competence to operate the item on the card. Where the individual has successfully attended a NPORS recognised health and safety course this can also be added to the back of the card.
