SECURE YOUR PLACE
Attended by managers and supervisors from across the UK and a wide cross-section of industries, the National Fork Truck Safety Conference is the biggest event of its kind.
facing owners, operators and the many colleagues who work alongside them. For, while it is tempting to think of the truck itself as the “killer in the workplace”, every bit as dangerous is a culture that allows bad practice go unchallenged because people are scared to report it or don’t see it as their responsibility to do so.
GET STARTED NOW
Our Safety Conference at University of Warwick on 24th September, will provide a great starting point for those beginning the journey. Those attending will have the opportunity to listen and learn from those who have travelled the path to safety. In addition to providing insight and encouragement, these individuals – who have developed successful safety campaigns that have dramatically improved safety at their sites – can provide invaluable guidance on pitfalls and how to negotiate them. Surrounding the Conference – and continuing long beyond it – Safety Week (22nd – 28th September 2014) will provide a range of free, interesting, relevant and interactive resources to reach the widest audience – engaging them to fi nd the real killer in their warehouse. Among the materials being developed this year – in association with Mentor, one of the UK’s foremost provider of operator training to the materials handling industry – will be a series of hazard perception tests designed to encourage anyone involved with fork trucks to test their knowledge, and discover ways to improve it to enhance their personal safety.

GET WITH THE PROGRAMME
As with any journey, it’s important to ensure everyone’s well equipped. When improving fork truck safety, an awareness of best practice – backed by good communication skills and commitment – is vital. During Safety Week we will launch the
FLTA Safety Programme, which is designed to show how companies of all shapes and sizes – across all sectors – can improve fork lift truck safety at their own site. Research demonstrates the value of continual learning, so valuable guidelines, tips and real-world examples will be delivered in easy-to-digest e-newsletters each month. Visit the FLTA website,
www.fork-truck.org.uk to register for the programme today.
In the weeks and months ahead we look
forward to hearing all of your fork truck safety ideas and tips, as well as your fi rst-hand experiences of improving safety at your site. You can share by tweeting @thefl ta, emailing
peter@fork-truck.org. uk or calling 01635 277577.
