The FLTA is on the lookout for its next Safety Champion and, thanks to support from Sponsor Briggs Equipment UK, its winner will walk away with the title, a trophy and a £250 prize.
Now in its third year, the Award recognises and rewards individuals committing to make sites safer for their colleagues and visitors.
FLTA Chief Executive Peter Harvey MBE explains: “These men and women often wear many hats in their day-to-day job. Indeed, fork lift operations is sometimes not even directly part of their job function.
“Yet, something clicks in them. Perhaps it was seeing a near miss or maybe reading about an accident. Regardless of what drives them, they have a vision of how things should be… and the dedication to make it happen.
“This Award is unique in that it recognises the individual driving positive change – rather than the company… although we do have an Award for that, too!”
The winner, who will be announced in November, will be presented with a cheque for £250, courtesy of Briggs Equipment UK. So, whether it was you who turned a site around or someone you know, the FLTA want to hear from you.
