NPORS Forward Tipping Mini Dumper (N139)

Essential Plant Training for Safe Site Material Movement

The NPORS Forward Tipping Dumper Training for the N139 category is a vital qualification for operators using compact or mini dumpers on-site. Because forward-tipping dumpers are involved in a high percentage of site overturns, professional NPORS accreditation is a mandatory safety standard for modern construction. Furthermore, our training ensures that your team complies with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Safe Use of Site Dumpers guidelines and PUWER regulations.

Consequently, this course provides operators with the technical expertise to manage load stability and implement safe tipping procedures. By completing this program, you ensure your workforce is fully compliant with NPORS industry standards and significantly reduce the risk of on-site accidents.
