Forklift Training
Lift trucks can be dangerous machines. If you don’t use them properly, they can seriously injure people. Therefore, it is a legal requirement that everyone who uses them has adequate training. This staff forklift training course is done on-site at your business premises or at our centre. Training starts off around a laptop for the health & safety presentation, followed by a safety video. Then for the practical part it would be ideal if some empty pallets can be made available for use.

- Hazard awareness
- The operators’ safety code
