This seminar will ensure you are kept up to date with the latest forklift safety standards, guidelines, training and technology.”
There is no cost to attend. Registrations are, however, required as places are limited. If you wish to attend, please contact the AITA Secretariat.
The AITA is very pleased to support the Workplace Health and Safety Show, and will also give a presentation at a seminar on Innovation and Collaboration which is being conducted by the Workplace Health and Safety Show on Thursday 24 May 2018, commencing at 10.30am.
