Toyota continue to promote safety this month with a special FLTA National Forklift Safety Week Prize Draw

Toyota's safety campaign 'Taking Care with Toyota' expands during September

to include a chance to win places on their Toyota Production System (TPS)

training courses. During FLTA Safety Week, 24-30 September, readers can

enter the prize draw to win one of eight available places and the first 100

entrants will be sent the brand new Toyota Forklift Safety Poster and a copy

of the recently released Toyota Forklift Safety Guide.


Grant Taylor, Quality and Safety Manager, Toyota Material Handling UK

commented: "Although there have been improvements in the numbers of forklift

truck related accidents, the numbers are still high enough to cause concern.

Safety is a main concern for Toyota and all of our equipment is developed

with safety in mind. As a distributor of materials handling equipment and

partner to our customers, we feel that it is important that we help decrease

the risk of accidents as much as possible."


The Toyota Training Academy works with hundreds of forklift operators per

year, working with people of all standards from novice to trainer and can

adapt courses for those based at one of the Toyota Material Handling UK

depots or those to be carried out on a customer site. The Training Academy

also works with others involved within different areas of business on

related courses; Manual Handling, Safety for Supervisors and the Toyota

Production System.


Grant added: "A key area for the campaign Taking Care with Toyota has been

the development, production and free distribution of free resources which

aim to decrease the risk of accidents across business operation. All of the

resources that we have produced this year available from our website, our

newest resource, the Toyota Forklift Safety Poster, has been specially

produced for this week.


As the newest free resource the Toyota Forklift Safety Poster has been

launched especially for National Forklift Safety Week highlighting 25 simple

and useful tips for working safely with forklift trucks.
