In line with new Code of Practice

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Earlier this year the HSE released its 3rd edition of the Approved Code of Practice for the use of Rider-operated lift trucks (L117) which includes added emphasis on the training of managers and supervisors and stipulates that those in supervisory roles should be sufficiently trained to identify any potential hazards occurring in everyday fork lift operations, specifically being able to: carry out an effective observation and know what to look for, communicate effectively with operators and line

Mentor’s Managing Forklift Operations course fully meets and complies with this new guidance and equips managers with the specialist knowledge and confidence to stop a dangerous occurrence in its tracks.

Topics covered include: relevant legislation, responsibilities under law, potential penalties and key safety principles such as stability characteristics and pre-shift checks.
