They also process skills in paperless warehouse systems, pick by light, volumetric and traditional hard copy and discreet location systems.

All trainees successfully completing courses will be presented with a Statement of Attainment from the relevant training package.
All areas such as pick/pack, replenishment, material flow, warehouse terminology, (EOQ, Reorder Points, Safety Stock, UOM, etc), stocktakes, cycle counts and process control counts, basic mathematics, receiving & despatch operations, staff rosters, time management, general consultation, quality assurance programs (HACCAP, AS/NZS, Work Instructions and company policy's and procedures).
Forklift and Orderpicker Operations
Due to changes in Workplace Health and Safety (WH&S), legislation, Hopwood has trainers that are fully conversant with the new requirements. As at the 1st July 2007, all licencing for Forklift and Orderpicker operators must be assessed by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO). The RTO must have qualified staff to train and assess operators of licencing. Hopwood has staff with many years experience as Accredited Providers under the WH&S guidelines. This will enable employers and applicants to have confidence in the licencing process.
Hopwood also offers a reassessment program for current holders of these licences as well as develop courses to suit employer needs. Re-training can also be offered for operators who may have been involved in "near miss" situations. The trainers can then compile reports for employers or site Workplace Health and Safety Officers/Coordinators based on these assessments.
Hopwood trainers can also train selected members of your staff as internal trainers for forklift and orderpicker operations. This may have gains for the employer in reducing licencing costs.
Workplace Health and Safety/Occupational Health and Safety
Hopwood has trainers are highly skilled in Workplace Health and Safety (WH&S). These skills have been gained through training to Accredited Providers status and in some cases international study (International Congress for OHS - Sept, 2005). They have been regularly audited by Principle Inspectors of WH&S to ensure compliance. The trainers can also help you develop your Emergency Evacuation Plans by training your staff to develop and monitor these. Hopwood can also train your Workplace Health and Safety Representatives.
Hopwood trainers can complete regular training within your organisation to minimise issues relating to manual handling. These can also be done as part of your organisations induction program. These courses are then documented a way that will assist the employer in compliance with Workplace Health and Safety. Programs can be developed so that your staff can be regularly assessed (i.e. every 3 or 6 months).
Hopwood trainers can assist the employer in setting up and running Induction Programs for your new or casual staff. These can cover all areas including specific site restrictions, forklift and orderpicker assessment (current operators), safety requirements, site evacuation requirements, reporting structure (flow charts), Workplace Health and Safety Obligations and any site specific needs.
Work Instructions and Procedures
Hopwood assessors will assist you in the compilation of workplace instructions and procedures. There can also be a program implemented that will monitor whether these processes are correct and comply with operational demands. Hopwood trainers and assessors will train your staff to be able to write these procedures internally, therefore helping to reduce costs by having qualified staff regularly monitoring and updating these processes.
These could reduce potential liability issues at a later stage where documented evidence is in place identifying regular training and reassessment programs.
Hopwood trainers are highly qualified in many areas of logistics. Talk to them if you have needs that may be specific to your needs. They may be able to develop that course that could address you're warehousing operational or staff requirements. This could be identified by a trainer coming to your site and observing how specific areas operate and then identifying a Training Needs Analysis (TNA), for the areas that may be lacking.
