The missing link

Mentor’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. This is a
potentially dangerous knowledge gap
given the high rate of injuries that
stem from incorrect use of the
equipment. It is also costly to replace
damaged stock, racking and trucks.

Mentor’s course equips managers with
the specialist knowledge and
confidence to stop a dangerous
occurrence in its tracks.
