Forklifts are the backbone of many New Zealand workplaces, but they also bring significant safety risks. In this episode of The Health and Safety Hub, Kevin Chambers talks with Raman Singh, QHSE Manager at Pharmapac, about the practical steps his organisation is taking to improve forklift safety.
From speed limiters and proximity sensors to driver competency, load management and warehouse design, Raman shares real-world insights from a busy manufacturing environment. Whether you’re responsible for health and safety, manage a warehouse, or operate forklifts yourself, this episode offers valuable lessons for creating a safer workplace.
Raman is a graduate of the EMA’s NZ Diploma in Workplace Health and Safety Management (Level 6), the country’s only face-to-face NZQA Level 6 programme for health and safety professionals.
