MORE INFOForklifts – sometimes called Lift Trucks – are a common sight in many workplaces, and often make the lifting and transporting of goods and materials much easier and safer.
But without good safety practices and procedures in place forklifts can be very dangerous. In fact, forklifts are a leading cause of workplace deaths and injuries.
A loaded forklift can weigh many tonnes, and do a lot of damage in the event of an accident. In addition, they are frequently less stable than many other vehicles.
This comprehensive forklift safety program covers:
The objective of this program is to highlight the importance of operating Forklifts safely and by so doing, increase awareness of the standards for worker responsibility in observing and being active in daily safety procedures.

MORE INFOCuts, burns, amputations, exposures to hazardous substances, electric shocks, asphyxiations and drownings are just some examples of consequences that can occur when work is carried out on plant and equipment that has not been properly shutdown.
The shutdown of plant and equipment before work is carried out is commonly referred to as a lockout or a lockout/tagout.
Lockouts protect the health and safety of the people working directly on the piece of equipment or plant as well as others who may be in the vicinity.
This program covers:
The objective of this program is to highlight the importance of following Lockout Procedures and by so doing, increase awareness of the standards for worker responsibility in observing and being active in daily safety procedures.

MORE INFOAccidents resulting from inadequate equipment and machine guarding cause some of the most traumatic injuries in the workplace today.
This program covers the following:
Advances in technology, safety standards and risk management have all contributed to increasingly effective guards being used in the workplace today, but despite all these advances, horrific accidents still occur.
When guards are not in place or when guards are not used correctly, people can be pulled into machines, have limbs amputated and body parts crushed.
It is therefore critical that we are aware of and understand the elements covered in this program. This will help all workplace personnel to avoid accidents and injuries when working with equipment and machinery.

MORE INFOMobile Elevating Work Platforms are also referred to as MEWPs or Elevating Work Platforms (EWPs). The use of MEWPs has been a major factor in the reduction of falls accidents in the workplace, and in many cases, the use of an MEWP is the safest solution to enabling temporary work at height.
However, the use of MEWPs is not risk free. There are many potential hazards associated with the use of MEWPs.
This comprehensive MEWP safety program covers:
The objective of this program is to highlight the importance of operating MEWPs safely and by so doing, increase awareness of the standards for worker responsibility in observing and being active in daily safety procedures.
