Recognition for forklift training course

Mentor Training's Managing Forklift Operations course has been shortlisted in the Safety Practices category at IMHX's Design 4 Safety Awards 2013 for its contribution to the promotion of safety awareness and incident reduction.

The course aims to eliminate the potential missing link between providing operator training and achieving a safe working environment. Unlike employees who regularly use forklift trucks, managers and supervisors are not required to be qualified forklift operators - a potentially dangerous knowledge gap. The course covers relevant legislation, responsibilities under law, potential penalties and key safety principles such as stability characteristics and pre-shift checks.
