It’s our job to ensure that your team understands their responsibilities and how the law applies to them, as well as the safest way to perform their duties. We’ll help your team to work in a safe and compliant manner.
Understanding the rules
Forklift operators must have a thorough understanding of workplace safety laws and regulations to ensure compliance and prevent accidents. Two key regulations in the UK are:
LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998): This focuses on the safe use of lifting equipment, including forklifts. Employers must ensure that forklifts are regularly inspected and maintained, lifting operations are properly planned and supervised, and operators are trained to handle loads safely.
PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998): This requires that all work equipment, including forklifts, is suitable for its intended use, properly maintained, and used only by trained and competent operators. It also covers safety measures such as emergency stop controls, warning systems, and proper maintenance schedules.
