Safety will come under scrutiny at FLTA's Safety Conference.

Program details have been released for the Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA) Safety Conference at Warwick University on September 25th.

FLTA chief executive David Ellison says this year's conference centres around the theme of 'Safe Operations'. "As ever, the conference will bring together a host of experts whose presentations will show what the forklift industry is doing - and what those in the audience can do - to make lifting operations safer," he explains.

Session will include:
Tipping Trucks - the HSE Perspective: John Moutrie from the Field Operations Directorate of the Health and Safety Executive will explain why tipping is still such a great cause for concern.
Design for Safety: Benoit Meunier of Toyota Material Handling UK will illustrate how safety features can be designed into new trucks as they are being developed.
Fork Lift Truck Attachments and Safety: Neal Fowler from B&B Attachments will highlight the key role that correct use of attachments can play in safety.
Battery Safety and Environmental Issues: Nigel Harris of CMP Batteries will talk about the potential hazards around batteries and their chargers.
Alternative Fuel Sources: Ian Melhuish of the NACCO Materials Handling Group will looks at safety improvements with alternative fuels and ponder the new safety challenges associated with them.
