Forklift Safety Training

Forklifts – sometimes called Lift Trucks – are a common sight in many workplaces, and often make the lifting and transporting of goods and materials much easier and safer.

But without good forklift Safety Training, safety practices and procedures in place, forklifts can be very dangerous. In fact, forklifts are a leading cause of workplace deaths and injuries.

A loaded forklift can weigh many tonnes, and do a lot of damage in the event of an accident. In addition, they are frequently less stable than many other vehicles.
