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
