What this course covers
Pedestrian-operated pallet trucks and wider lift truck movements are a leading cause of warehouse injuries, from crush incidents to struck-by collisions. This programme covers both sides of the risk, teaching correct pallet truck operation alongside how pedestrians can stay safe near moving vehicles.
Learners cover daily pre-use inspections and safe operating technique, including steering, braking and load handling. The course supports employer duties under PUWER 1998 and suits standalone awareness training or a complement to practical operator instruction.
