Handling safety advice

At Health & Safety North, Toyota
Material Handling will offer
companies advice on manual
handling as well as distributing free
resources, to help improve safety in
the workplace. The show is an
important part of Toyota’s safety
campaign ‘Taking Care with Toyota’,
which has been designed to help
companies reduce injury and
accidents in the workplace.

During 2012 Toyota will be
providing customers and prospects
with advice on safety in relation to
materials handling equipment, plus
distributing a range of free safety
resources. The stands will feature a
range of manual and powered pallet
trucks designed to help with manual
handling. These include a BT Pro
Lifter hand pallet truck that requires
up to 67% less start up effort than a
conventional hand pallet truck, a BT
High Lifter hand pallet truck which
features an ergonomic work station
and the compact BT Levio powered
pallet truck, all designed to move
loads safely and efficiently.

Toyota Material Handling sales and
marketing director Tony Wallis says:
“We have developed a number of free
safety resources that provide tips for
forklift safety, manual handling and
the correct operation of equipment.

The Toyota team will be providing
these resources free to show visitors
along with advice and support on
their operation.” Stand 78
