Forklift trucks are widely used for moving materials and goods, but they are involved in about a quarter of all workplace transport accidents. The deaths and injuries caused can ruin lives and businesses. Even when an incident does not cause injury, it can still mean costly damage to lift trucks, buildings, fittings and goods.A ‘forklift operator’ is anyone who operates a forklift truck full or part-time.
'Forklift Operators' need to have accredited training to be aware of the following:
- the correct use of the equipment;
- any risks from its use;
- the precautions to take.
Avoid workplace accidents and employer liability, get all your employees fully trained and licensed. Forklift Driving School Ltd. provides forklift training either on the company site or at a forklift training centre, all our forklift licences are either RTITB or ITSSAR certified.
The law: The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) place certain requirements on employers. You must make sure that all people who use, supervise or manage the use of work equipment have received adequate training.
