The Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA) will host its second annual safety conference on Wednesday, September 22, at Warwick University, Coventry.

Building on the success of last year's inaugural event, which attracted more than 200 delegates, this year's conference will offer practical solutions to practical problems. Aimed directly at forklift end users, the event's content will be up to date, concise, relevant, and applicable to everyday work situations.

The main aims of the conference are to:
* Help end users operate forklifts more safely and efficiently,
* Highlight current safety issues and recommend best practice,
* Help users meet and understand legal obligations,
* Provide a basis for improved training, and
* Highlight key issues of concern within the industry.

Packed with high-quality content and presented by authoritative speakers, the 2004 conference will reflect the interests and concerns of the FLTA Safe User Group, whose members are a representative cross section of British industry.

Full details of individual sessions will be announced soon, but topics already confirmed include:
* New rules for using working platforms
* Working safely with electric trucks
* Working safely with LPG trucks
* Reversing safely
