By carrying out checks in the run-up to winter, you’ll be able to better protect your operation from unexpected repair bills, downtime and cold-weather related issues in the future. Instruct your operators to regularly check machinery, and of course organise a thorough winter inspection from a professional.
Of course it’s obvious that anyone who hasn’t gone through the proper training must never attempt to operate a forklift truck, and this is especially true during the colder months. Because operating forklifts in winter requires a different skillset, as there are different hazards to be aware of. It’s therefore absolutely essential that all staff go through thorough training and regular refreshers to ensure a totally safe working environment.
