Overview

It’s obviously loads safer using specialist machinery to haul around tons of rock than expecting people to do it on their own. But even so, lift trucks can still be a dangerous addition to a workplace and are actually responsible for around a quarter of all workplace transport accidents. Yikes.

The majority of accidents involving lift trucks are totally avoidable. Making sure that proper supervision is in place, including adequately trained banksmen, can make all the difference. And making sure that everyone has been properly trained and understands working guidelines makes working with lift trucks safer for everyone.

  • Understand the role of a banksman and signallers in keeping sites where lift trucks are in use safer for workers and bystanders
  • Identify the procedures for examining lift trucks effectively, including pre-shift checks and routine inspections and maintenance, in line with the relevant UK regulations and code of practice
