Management and Supervisor courses
These courses are designed for Managers and Supervisors who are responsible for managing the safe use and control of forklift trucks and MEWPS
Apart from the Employer’s legal obligations, its makes sound business sense to ensure Supervisory Management are trained to recognise safe forklift truck operation and application at the workplace. Supervisory Management need to be aware of the lifting and handling capabilities of the forklift trucks under their responsibility and control, as well as the importance of pre-use safety inspection, In conclusion, trained Supervisors can have an immediate impact with forklift truck safety at the workplace and as a result reduce operational running costs!
