Training guide for workplace transport users
Telford, United Kingdom
RTITB has put together a publication that it hopes will help employers reduce risk and improve safety in their day-to-day operations.
"There's a lot of really good information out there, but it's spread across a number of documents and websites," says operations director Laura Nelson. "What we wanted to do was pull it all together in one place where it could be quickly looked up and understood."
Training Recommendations for Workplace Transport will provide employers, operators and instructors with a one-stop comprehensive guide to the essentials of operator training.
The company is offering the publication at the discounted rate of GBP14 (USD23.60) until 31 May, 2014. This is a 50% saving on the actual publication price.
