AITT holds online event
Hugglescote, United KingdomThe Association of Industrial Truck Trainers is hailing its recent online conference as a triumph of "thought-provoking yet practical guidance".
AITT managing director Adam Smith says all the speakers were "very candid about the issues they faced and were extremely generous in revealing details of the journey they took to reach highly successful outcomes".
Gary Rowland, group compliance training manager at nationwide food distributor Greencore, shared details of how the company reduced site impacts by 50%, thanks to a new in-depth training programme.
Simon Ambridge, risk and compliance manager at drinks wholesaler Matthew Clark, also discussed proactive ways to engage a workforce and the benefits of partnering with an accrediting body.
The importance of training was reinforced by David Lee of the HSE, who delivered a compelling talk about how the process of accident investigations plays out and the consequences for businesses which fail to meet their training obligations.
Summing up, Smith says: " There was something for everyone, with content relevant to a broad spectrum of attendees, from training providers and recruitment agencies to workplace transport operators."
