Warehouse & Distribution Training
Many of the larger warehouses are now fully automated with computers controlling intake, storage and dispatch of stock items. However, many more still rely on manual order picking operations and the various types of lift truck to get the product to the consumer.
With its roots firmly set in the old Road Transport Industry Training Board (RTITB), it should come as no surprise that Sitesafe UK Ltd’s instructors and safety advisors have been providing training and safety assistance to the Warehouse and Distribution Industry for over 20 years.
We have sound experience at operating in difficult working environments, such as freezers, chill chambers, zoned hazardous areas and dock side, but whether your staff are shifting, tins of beans, fish fingers, museum artefacts, body scanners or new print rolls, we have the training program and experience to make your workplace a safer place to be in.
