Booklet aims to reduce casualties
February 1st 2009

A new employee safety booklet aimed at cutting the number of accidents involving forklift trucks has been launched by the Fork Lift Truck Association.

Employee Safety: Working with Fork Lift Trucks is the latest publication in the FLTA's Operator/Employee Safety series, which covers subjects including counterbalance trucks, daily or preshift checks and warehouse lifting equipment.

The easy-to-read booklet has been written in two parts. The first section is aimed at employees and provides them with the basic information they should know for their own safety and that of others around them. Although beneficial to truck operators and users, it is specifically aimed at those working alongside forklifts.
