Instruction before the forklift, not after
Temps start at 06:00 on a Monday. Aristotl gets the site rules to their phone first and keeps every forklift certificate in one view.
The temp is at dock 4 before the site rules are.And the forklift certificate sits in a third folder.
Where the standard slips
- 01
On the floor before the site rules
Agency workers start the day they are placed. The Thursday induction comes too late.
In the Netherlands, Arbobesluit article 7.17c requires specific expertise to operate mobile work equipment such as forklifts.
- 02
A dock change misses the night shift
A new traffic route is briefed at 06:00 and reaches the late shift by word of mouth.
- 03
Certificates live in three files
Forklift, VCA and ADR records sit with HR, the agency and the site manager.
