Confusion cleared over Thorough Examination

Toyota Material Handling UK is
launching a new campaign focused
on helping customers understand
Thorough Examination, a procedure
which helps ensure consistent, high
national standards for safe, genuine
and regular examinations of forklift
trucks in line with PUWER and
LOLER regulations.

It’s a legal requirement for forklift
trucks and lifting equipment but
according to Toyota, many
customers are unsure what
Thorough Examination entails and
who is responsible for making sure
equipment meets legislation. Over
the coming months Toyota will
provide information to companies
about Thorough Examination and
run an internal education campaign
with team members. A team of
Toyota examiners accredited by
CFTS will be on hand across the
country to offer local support.
