ABC – Any job – better job – career

Are you out of work?  Are you working but aren’t happy with your current job?  Have you always wondered what driving a forklift might be like?  If any of these are true for you, then we can help.

At Key Performance Training, we firmly believe that a training course with us here will most certainly change your life.  How do we know this?  Because we see it every week when people leave us and start new jobs.  We’re not just a training company – we help people get onto a pathway to employment.

First Aid Icon

There is a national shortage of forklift drivers, and there are lots of opportunities in the Southwest of England currently for forklift operators. Companies are willing to take on newly trained operators more than ever before, so your new skills can quickly enable you to take control of your future.

We believe in ABC – Any job – Better job – Career.

  • Any job for a new novice forklift truck driver is worth taking because it provides you with invaluable experience
  • Once you have some experience under your belt you can look for a better job because you know have a track record as a forklift driver
  • Once established in that better job you can start to build a career with further training and promotions

By investing in yourself, you can improve your self-worth which leads to a sense of achievement and personal growth. It doesn’t matter what stage of your life you are at, and it doesn’t really matter if your life’s ambition is to be a forklift truck driver or even to go on with further training to eventually become the trainer yourself, the fact is that training is truly the best way to improve your life.

Training gives you personal confidence and the satisfaction of knowing that not only have you got the qualification and the bit of paper that says you have done it, but you also have the knowledge that you applied yourself, made a decision and stuck with it until you obtained the end result.

It’s not so much where you end up, but every day taking all those little baby steps that add up to one giant leap for the improvement of your life.

Here at Key Performance Training, we can give you the new skills to make you a much more valuable proposition to any new potential employer, putting you in the driving seat, quite literally!

HSE Work Related Fatality Figures Released

HSE Work Related Fatality Figures Released

First Aid Icon

HSE WORK RELATED FATALITY FIGURES RELEASED

The HSE has recently published the figures for work related fatalities in the UK for the period April 2022 – March 2023.

Sadly, 135 workers were killed during this period, with the highest number of deaths in the construction industry (45), with agriculture, forestry, and fishing (21), manufacturing (15), and transportation and storage (15). Agriculture, forestry, and fishing has the highest rate of fatal injury per 100,000 workers of all the main industrial sectors followed by waste and recycling.

First Aid Icon

The three most common causes of fatal injuries are falls from height (40), being struck by a moving object (29), and being struck by a moving vehicle (20).

The total of 135 worker deaths in 2022/23 is higher than the previous year (123) but is in line with pre-pandemic levels. The figure for 2020/21 was 145.

Great Britain is one of the safest places in the world to work. There has been a long-term downward trend in the rate of fatal injuries to workers, though in the years prior to the coronavirus pandemic the rate was broadly flat.

A further 68 members of the public were killed following a work-related incident in 2022/23. This is a decrease of 20 from last year.

HSE’s Chief Executive Sarah Albon said: “Any loss of life in the workplace is a tragedy.

“While these figures show Great Britain is one of the safest countries in the world to work, safety must continue to be at the top of everyone’s agenda.

“Our mission is to protect people and places and we remain committed to maintaining safe workplaces and holding employers to account for their actions.”

The best way to ensure the safety of your employee’s is with regulated, high quality training, which is compliant with the HSE rules, guidance and legal obligations.

Why choose RTITB accredited training?

Why choose RTITB accredited training?

Why cho0se RTITB accredited training?

Key Performance Training is proud to be an RTITB accredited lift truck training company, but what does this mean for you when choosing which company to train with?

The RTITB is the gold standard of training in our industry, and we only use RTITB accredited instructors and examiners for all our lift truck courses

We know that the best lift truck instructors want to deliver high standards of training. They want to ensure their training candidates are engaged with their courses, and to make sure that the lift truck operators they train can ultimately work safely and efficiently.  By using only RTITB accredited trainers, we can guarantee that all our courses meet these high standards.

We have access to their range of high-quality materials.  We avoid ‘death by PowerPoint’, as no one enjoys long slide presentations, and instead use expertly designed course materials which are engaging for learners.  We include different training delivery methods, such as group contributions, group participation and demonstrations, which help make the training more interactive.

We also have high quality question papers and mock theory papers, which enable good preparation and revision for our delegates, and all our materials are regularly updated, to ensure legal compliance.

The result is better engagement, leading to more knowledgeable forklift operators.

When instructors are trained and examined to the RTITB standard, you can be confident that they will deliver training to a high standard because they hold a sought-after, professional qualification.

For businesses, using RTITB instructors helps ensure the highest training and safety standards are upheld, and ensures that their training complies with guidance by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

We believe in offering high quality, engaging training and that’s why the RTITB standard is so important to us.  We are audited on an annual basis as well, so you can be confident that these high standards are constantly being met and maintained.

Lisa’s story

Lisa’s story

Lisa’s story

Here at Key Performance Training, we talk about the risks of driving a forklift truck badly every week.

It’s part of our course material and we often post about the dreadful accidents and incidences involving forklifts to raise awareness of the consequences and the risks associated with the equipment we train on.

First Aid Icon

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.

Click here to view Lisa’s story – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ccNx0SvNkY

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.
