John Carroll

Jungheinrich employee John Carroll has been recognised by Shell for his contribution to improving safe work practices at its Lubrication Centre at Ellesmere Port.

Carroll, who has been based at the Shell site for 10 years, received a Shell Goal Zero certificate for his ideas on improving forklift operator safety at the centre that is a part of Shell's Stanlow manufacturing complex.

"Stanlow's health and safety record is excellent but I am pleased that my suggestions will play a part in [its] continuous health and safety development programme," Carroll says.

The Stanlow manufacturing complex is at the heart of Britain's oil and chemical production industry. The only Shell refinery in the UK, it is a massive converter of crude oil into products that are the lifeblood of British industries.

Shell recently updated its forklift fleet at the site with new Jungheinrich models. Carroll manages the team of Jungheinrich after-sales service engineers based at the facility to ensure the forklifts' uptime.

The Shell Goal Zero scheme rewards staff and contractors for developing methods to improve safety in the organisation.

Jungheinrich UK Ltd, a division of German-owned Jungheinrich AG, supplies pallet trucks, stackers, counterbalance forklifts, very narrow aisle, reach trucks, order pickers and stacker cranes in the UK.
