Lisa’s story

Unfortunately though, thousands of workers are still being injured by them every year and 1 in 5 workplace fatalities were caused by moving vehicles in 2021.

And these statistics are on the rise.

We’d like to share with you the firsthand experience of someone who is living with exactly the consequences – Lisa Ramos.

Lisa was hit by a forklift truck on the 24th March 2006. This is a date that is engraved on her memory forever. Not because it was the date of her only son’s 13th birthday, but because it was the day she became an ‘amputee’. Here, she tells the story of how one tragic moment in time has caused a lifetime of heartache and devastated generations of her family.

If you’re driving a forklift without proper training, or you supervise people who do, you could be breaking the law, and putting others at risk of serious, life-changing or life-threatening injuries.

For a full list of our courses, please see our website – https://keyperformancetraining.co.uk/ and see how we can help you get the right training to minimise the risks of this happening to someone else.

We thank Lisa for sharing her story with us all.  Today Lisa is a guest speaker at health and safety conferences and employer events, alongside her husband, David Garton. Together, they raise awareness about the hidden costs of workplace accidents and the devasting impact it can have on the family, friends and colleagues of the victim.
