Now in its third year, the Award recognises and rewards individuals committing to make sites safer for their colleagues and visitors.
Says FLTA chief Peter Harvey: “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 will be announced in November and 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. Entries must be in no later than 30 September 2017.
