The Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA) has announced its 2017 National Fork Truck Safety Conference will take place on Wednesday, 20 September at the Heart of England Conference and Events Centre in Coventry

The award-winning event, which is sponsored by Jungheinrich, has been designed to give delegates the practical advice they need to adapt to changes in the workplace.

FLTA’s Chief Executive Peter Harvey MBE said, “The Safety Conference has become one of the most important events on the industry calendar, so we do everything we can to address the most pressing issues that our delegates are facing year-on-year.”

“The landscape, for many managers and supervisors, is one of change. They’re being expected to work leaner and that can result in corner cutting. But this can come at a high cost. With accidents and prosecutions on the rise, this conference will deliver the information, strategies and solutions to achieve their goals, while keeping safety standards high.”

The CPD-accredited conference will examine the subject of change from a variety of angles: from high staff turnover and changing processes to lower training budgets and reduced employee morale.
