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.
