Workplace Transport Safety Training, Forklift Reversing Banksman Course (Digital Download)

Workplace transport safety training for any site where vehicles and people share space: a forklift reversing and banksman course for yards, warehouses, depots and loading bays.

This HartfellCo training course covers workplace transport in plain English for Great Britain, built around one rule: Apart. In sight. Stop. People and vehicles kept apart. Everyone in sight. Lose sight, stop. Part one is three checks before the move (Walk it, Check it, Agree it); part two is three rules during the move. It uses three real cases published by HSE, summarised in our own words, to show what goes wrong when people and vehicles share space, when a banksman steps out of the driver's sight, and when a forklift is used for something it was not made for.

Plain English throughout, and fully editable so you can add your own branding.
