During this session, Andrew Wetters, HSE Team Leader, Workplace Transport (Policy), will lead delegates through the revised guidance and ACOP update (L117): Rider-operated lift trucks – Operator training and safe use.
Released earlier this year, L117 is aimed at employers and those responsible for the safe operation of lift trucks, as well as those in control of worksites, the self-employed, managers and supervisors.
It includes an outline of the main legal requirements relating to lift trucks, the Approved Code of Practice text and guidance on operator training for stacking rider-operated lift trucks.
The revised edition incorporates some of the guidance from Safety in Working with Lift Trucks (HSG6), such as: guidance on the safe use of lift trucks; how to protect pedestrians; and guidance on Thorough Examinations and proper maintenance of lift trucks.
