Intended for:
Pallet Truck training is designed to protect employees, by supporting the integrated safety features of the pallet truck, and preventing injury through the correct and proper use of the equipment.
The correct use of equipment can also have a demonstrable effect on the level of maintenance required, the number of faults that develop and the life of the equipment – all of which can be adversely affected by inappropriate actions.
Ultimately, equipment training can significantly increase the efficiency of the kit, whether that be through its more efficient use or fewer accidents as a consequence of untrained individual”s actions.
Training course contents:
The key aim of these training course materials is to provide your employees with the necessary information and skills to enable them to use the equipment effectively and safely.
