AITT to address safety conference
17 March 2016
Speaking at this year’s Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA) Safety Conference on 29th June 2016, Dave Sparrow, MD of the Association of Industrial Truck Trainers (AITT), will explain the role of the Accrediting Bodies Association (ABA) and the benefits its formation has brought to employers – and to workplace safety standards.

The ABA was established, in close association with the HSE, by 4 leading accrediting bodies for operator training – AITT, ITSSAR, NPORS, and RTITB. Its role is to deliver consistent, reliable standards across the training sector.
Sparrow says: “The ABA benefits everyone who employs a fork lift truck operator by providing assurance that all courses delivered via these four providers will be to a consistent, independently audited standard. Moreover, because each of the four bodies maintains detailed and standardised records of every trainee, employers can check that job applicants hold the qualifications they claim and that certificates are genuine.”
