year through their paces to ensure that they can safely operate anything from all types of warehouse equipment to overhead gantry cranes, lor- ry banksman, mini diggers and lorry mounted trucks, ensuring that all trainees meet strict, accredited, safety guidelines.

Regulations 1998), L.O.L.E.R ( Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) and L117 legislation, giving operatives training in ar- eas including stability, truck components, pre-shift checks, load weight distribution, handling techniques and vehicle loading and unloading in accordance with the Health & Safety At Work Act 1974.

lack of training, poor maintenance, poor working conditions and complacency. Headed up by Giuseppe (Pepe) Girardi, who has over 25 years’ hands-on experience of all aspects of lift trucks, the instructors aim to ensure not only competence, but training that reflects the needs of each individual business and also to be on hand to answer specific health and safety questions and recommend the best equipment for the job. All Pegasus instructors continue to receive
exceptional ITSSAR (Independent Training Standards Scheme and Register) Accreditation results with annual monitoring and the honesty and transparency of the whole team’s knowledge put clients very much at ease from the outset. Dawn Girardi, who founded the company with
husband Pepe in 1995, has an in-depth knowledge of working within logistics focused on training, sales, hire, servicing and financial offices for fork lift trucks, and is at the forefront of customer enquiries. Dawn said: “All of our courses are fundamentally
about health and safety and training employees in how to use various types of materials handling equipment so that drivers are not at any risk and they’re not putting others at risk. “Tat might be novice drivers, experienced driv-
ers needing additional skills, assessments, or just a refresher course, but it’s always worth ensuring that everyone is fully up to date with their training and knowledge of safe handling of equipment.”
