Avoid Costly Mistakes
Every year approximately 8,000 fork lift truck accidents are reported to the HSE. This figure represents all workplace accidents. Around 1 in 4 workplace accidents involve a fork lift truck. These accidents come in many forms from damage to equipment and materials to minor injuries, serious injuries and even death. In the vast majority of case, operator error is to blame. It is the responsibility of the employer to provide effective training for their MHE operators under PUWER 1998 and Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Complying to the above increases safety and minimises the risk of accidents whilst also improving the efficiency of the operator.
Health & Safety at Work
We follow the Approved Code of Practice for rider-operated lift trucks, known as L117, the HSE’s definitive point of reference for fork lift training. L117 has special legal status (if it’s proved you did not follow it, a court will find you at fault, unless you can show you have complied with the law in some other way) so if you stick to it, not only will you ensure your operations are compliant with UK law, they’ll be safe and efficient too.
