For added safety, choose Jungheinrich training
If employees cause damage to trucks or products or, even worse, cause injuries to others due to a lack of operator experience or improper operation, it can soon have serious financial consequences, since the damage is not usually covered by insurance. Jungheinrich training programmes train your employees in accordance with DGUV regulations, thereby ensuring the efficient use of your fleet in the long term and protecting your team by maintaining maximum safety in the workplace.
