The United Kingdom Warehousing Association (UKWA) has announced new reciprocal membership arrangements with the Fork Lift Truck Association (FLTA). As a Partnership member of FLTA, UKWA now offers its members additional benefits as both associations strive to raise standards in the materials handling industry.

With immediate effect, UKWA members are entitled to membership of FLTA’s Safe User Group at a discounted rate, giving UKWA members access to a wide range of resources and specialist advice to ensure companies and employees operating fork lift trucks do so within legal parameters and best practice guidelines.

UKWA members joining FLTA’s Safe User Group are also eligible for reduced rates to attend FLTA’s annual Safety Conference, which, this year, takes place on 20 September at the Heart of England Events & Conference Centre in Meriden, near Coventry.

For further details on how UKWA can help logistics companies to operate a safer working environment and reduce accidents, please contact Shoaib Vakil at shoaib@ukwa.org.uk.
