At Active Rentals we offers a formal hand-over or Familiarisation Service to customers hiring a self-operated machine. Customers requiring this can simply book the service when placing their rental order. On completion of the Familiarisation Hand-Over, they will then sign a Certificate of Familiarisation.
This is not and should not be taken as evidence of training. A Certificate of Familiarisation signed by the person accepting responsibility for the machine is to acknowledge that they are aware of: -
- Manufacturers written instructions and warnings
- Control functions
- Safety devices
- Emergency lowering procedures
- Familiarisation is recommended where an operator will use a machine, which varies significantly from that which they were formally trained on.
