Safe Handling of VNA Trucks (1 Day)
In-house VNA truck training, at your facility
This 1-day programme gives very narrow aisle (VNA) truck drivers and material handling personnel the classroom knowledge and hands-on skill to operate a VNA truck safely in high-density racking. Like every course in MESH’s MHE suite, it’s delivered in-house, at your site, on your own equipment.
Why this course
VNA trucks operate in the tightest aisle widths and tallest racking of any equipment in this suite, and the margin for error is correspondingly smaller. This course is written specifically for that environment, covering the stability, hazard awareness and operating discipline VNA work demands.
Who should attend
- VNA truck drivers
- Material handling personnel who operate or work around VNA trucks
What participants gain
By the end of the course, participants will understand:
- Operator responsibilities and safety protocols specific to VNA truck operation
- The stability principles that apply in very narrow aisle, high-racking environments
- Common causes of VNA-related accidents and how to prevent them
- Safe operating behaviour and situational awareness during VNA truck operation
Training combines theory lecture, practical training, case study and Q&A, with both theory and practical assessment.
Assessment and certification
Participants are assessed through classroom instruction and hands-on practical testing at your facility. MESH issues certification and a trained driver card on successful completion of both the theory and practical assessment.
How delivery works
MESH’s team delivers the full day on-site, using your own VNA truck and racking layout, so operators train and are assessed in the actual aisles they’ll be working in. The course is HRD Corp claimable

Frequently asked questions
Is this course open to the public, or only for our company?
It’s in-house only, delivered at your facility for your own operators, the same as every course in MESH’s MHE suite.
Do we need our own VNA truck for the practical session?
Yes, practical training and assessment use your equipment and racking layout at your site.
Is this a refresher course?
No — this is a stand-alone 1-day operator programme, not a shortened version of a longer course.
What certification does MESH issue?
A MESH training certificate and a trained driver card on successful completion of the theory and practical assessment.
Is the training HRD Corp claimable?
Yes, claimable through HRD Corp.
Do you provide a licence for this training?
You’ll receive a MESH trained driver card — not a government-issued licence. It serves as straightforward, easily verifiable proof that the holder has completed the training, and some clients refer to this informally as a “licence,” though it isn’t one issued by the government.
