All employers have a duty of care to their workforce regarding the safe use of lift trucks and clear guidelines are outlined on the HSE website. The first and most important responsibility is that all employees operating a forklift or lift truck must have the proper training. Ideally the training should be conducted by a qualified instructor and the training is accredited by recognized governing bodies, such as, ITSSAR, AITT or RITB

In addition to adequate training, employers must identify and eliminate potential hazards in the working environment. Conducting thorough risk assessments is essential to safeguard employees working in the vicinity of forklift operations.

Furthermore, all employees should be informed of potential hazards of working in an environment where lift trucks are in use. By implementing comprehensive training, maintaining a hazard-free workspace, and fostering awareness of workplace risks, employers can create a safe and secure working environment for their staff.
