Te courses Pegasus run teach the basic skills,
familiarisation and job specific requirements and knowledge necessary for the safe and efficient op- eration of forklifts, encouraging good practice by the company to maintain and promote the skills learned. Tey also encourage the creation of a safer working environment, developing safer working procedures as a matter of habit and to meet the legal require- ments of Te Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. A popular course is the one-day Supervisors’
and Managers’ course which helps those with additional responsibilities ensure minimal risk is related to manual handling equipment. Often, those responsible for overseeing drivers don’t use the equipment themselves and these courses en- sure they are adequately trained in areas such as regulations, operational safety, operator training and supervision of the workplace. Dawn added: “In addition to the courses we run we also have a range of preferred suppliers that we have built up over the years and we now offer training in areas such as working at height, ladder training, racking layouts and safety, fire marshal, DSEAR risk assessments, chemical spillages and IOSH Managing and Working Safely, helping our clients to protect their workplaces and ensure they are well prepared for any unexpected problems or accidents that may occur. All of our courses encour- age confidence and competence.”
Te health risks of the workplace have been brought into sharp
focus by the COVID-19 pandemic and additional distancing and hygiene procedures have been introduced anywhere that groups of people are working together. Last year, Pegasus Lift Truck Training became the Midlands distributor for sales of the revolutionary cleaning system SpaceVac, which allows customers to do their own fast, safe and cost-efficient cleaning of large areas, particularly those with high areas that would normally require scaffolding, ladders or hydraulic access platforms for cleaning. The SpaceVac system allows an operator to clean troublesome areas up to 15m (19m ex- ternally) from the ground floor and in a fraction of the time it would normally take. Pepe said: “SpaceVac is the perfect fit for us as many of our custom-

ers have warehouse premises with storage at a high level and cleaning those areas is an issue, alongside dusty ducting, pipes, air vents and walls. Tese days, when hygiene is at the forefront of everyone’s minds, it’s a simple and effective way to keep premises clean with minimum disruption or downtime. SpaceVac is available to purchase through Pegasus, with customers often finding that initial outlay is soon offset by the fact that they don’t need to hire any additional cleaning or access equipment. Where customers don’t want to invest in their own equip- ment, Pegasus can arrange a visit to clean at a time to suit. “Keeping workplaces safe and clean for everyone using them is of
paramount importance. Trough our training team and our preferred suppliers, we help our clients put the best possible procedures in place to make sure everyone stays safe and well at work.”
