"Are you covered?"

The vital question fork lift managers get wrong.

By law, every fork lift truck needs a regular Thorough Examination certificate.

Many companies have this done by their insurer or as part of their hire contract, and 93% believe this means the whole truck has been checked, and is safe to use

Often, they're dead wrong.

Many so-called "Thorough Examinations" only cover the lifting part of the truck; satisfying LOLER 98 regulations, but ignoring crucial parts, like the brakes.

That leaves you exposed to prosecution under PUWER 98 and Health and Safety at Work Act.... and might mean there's a fatal accident about to happen in your warehouse.

Don't do a Thorough Examination by half. Look for the CFTS logo
