What training means here

Training is how operators build and maintain the skills, safety awareness and route knowledge their workforce needs. It spans induction for new starters, role-specific and vehicle familiarisation, safety training, and ongoing development as routes, vehicles and procedures change.

Common types of training

• Induction and onboarding for new starters.
• Route, vehicle and equipment familiarisation.
• Safety, defensive driving and procedure training.
• Compliance and licence-related refreshers where required.
• Supervisory and progression training for team leaders.

Training best practices

• Plan training capacity alongside recruitment so starts are not delayed.
• Make safety training thorough, clear and regularly refreshed.
• Tailor training to routes, vehicles and the role.
• Keep simple records of who has completed which training.
• Offer development paths that support retention and progression.

Common mistakes

• Treating induction as a formality and skipping practical training.
• No refresher training as routes, vehicles or procedures change.
• Poor records of who is trained and current.
• No progression training, so experienced staff stall.
