ThinkLink Launches Competition to find India?s best Forklift Operator
ThinkLink Learning, in partnership with RTITB UK, is launching a competition to find the safest and most efficient forklift truck operator in India. The new initiative ?the Forklift Operator of the Year ? was launched at the India Warehousing Show, at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, from 1-3 July. Open to all lift truck operators, the competition aims to recognise and reward highly skilled and safety conscious operators from all over India.

The competition will be conducted over two rounds. The first round, consisting of regional heats, will happen in September followed by Grand Finale in October at ThinkLink?s Praguna Centre at Dharuhera. Eight national finalists will compete for the title of Forklift Operator of the Year ? India. Entry to the competition is free and ThinkLink is encouraging the employers to nominate their very best lift truck operators.

?Lift truck operators are often blamed for accidents and delays, but Forklift Operator of the Year ? India aims to change this, by focussing on the positive impact of the job,? said Laura Nelson, Managing Director of RTITB. ?The country?s best operators will compete in practical lift truck challenges, showing how safely and efficiently they operate their lift trucks.?

?A national competition gives all operators an incentive to work even better at their jobs, to achieve the prestigious status of India?s best lift truck operator? said Hitesh Gupta, ThinkLink Learning.
