NPORS was formed in 1992. We found a requirement in the industrial, ports, rail and construction sectors for a flexible registration scheme that could offer operator cards for a range of plant machinery and equipment.
Our main ethos is that it allows the accredited training providers (ATP) registered with us to offer a flexible approach to meeting the needs of the employer and safety of the UK workforce.
An ATP can be either an employer or commercial training provider, that meet the required standards.
NPORS has been an accrediting body under auspices of the HSE since 1997 for Rider-operated Lift trucks: Operator training Approved code of practice (L117), with 6 other organisations.
