Complies with new code of practice

Of greatest significance is the added emphasis placed on the training
of managers and supervisors. The new edition stipulates that those in
supervisory roles should be sufficiently trained to identify any
potential hazards occurring in everyday fork lift operations,
specifically being able to:

• Carry out an effective observation and know what to look for
• Communicate effectively with operators and line managers
• Recognise unsafe practice and behaviour
• Maintain and promote health and safety standards

Mentor’s Managing Forklift Operations course fully meets and complies
with this new guidance. Recognising that carefully-prepared safety
procedures are only as good as the supervisors who enforce them, the
course equips managers with the specialist knowledge and confidence to
stop a dangerous situation in its tracks.

Managing Forklift Operations covers relevant legislation,
responsibilities under law, potential penalties, and key safety
principles such as stability characteristics and pre-shift checks.
