says "Taking Care with Toyota focuses on three elements: product, people and

process. By working closely with customers and prospects during 2012 it has

become evident that by raising awareness and providing support we can help

customers, not only to improve safety, but also help them to improve their

processes and reduce costs".


In 2012, Toyota has provided over 1250 free resources to over 450 different

companies through requests via the corporate website plus copies of the

safety guides have been distributed at over 25 different events. The free

resources have included the Toyota Forklift Safety Guide, operator daily
