4-Sight Knowledge Session 1: Understanding Your Legal Duties as a Manager or Supervisor When Managing Forklift Operations
Supervisors and managers play a vital role in managing forklift operations safely, compliantly, and efficiently. Yet across the industry, many leaders are asked to oversee lift truck activity without receiving the structured knowledge they need to do the job confidently and legally.
At 4KS Forklift Training, we provide specialist training to help managers and supervisors fully understand their legal responsibilities and the practical steps required to meet them.

Why This Session Matters
According to the Approved Code of Practice L117, anyone supervising lift truck operations must:
- Provide adequate supervision
- Understand the risks associated with forklift or MHE use
- Recognise safe and unsafe behaviours
- Support ongoing operator monitoring and assessment
You don’t need to be a forklift operator yourself — but you do need to know what good practice looks like. Our course gives you the clarity and confidence to supervise effectively and legally.
