Alton, United Kingdom
The Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA) has been named as a finalist in the Trade Association Forum (TAF) Best Practice Awards 2013.
The honour recognises the work undertaken by the FLTA in achieving "a sustained improvement in the national accident record" and for its work as a source of best practice advice in an industry where at least 23 sets of legislation, official guidance and regulations can be confusing or time-consuming for companies to interpret.
"Members, the media and forklift users rely on the FLTA office as a first port of call for clarification on contentious, technical, legislative or, crucially, safety issues," explains FLTA CEO Peter Harvey. The winners of the awards will be announced on 11 July.
