As the COVID-19 pandemic develops over the coming weeks and months, there will naturally be questions on how our industry deals with it.

It's a situation where we all need to work together to help tackle the problem, and while some people will be able to self isolate and work from home, for many in the FLT industry that isn't a practical option.The FLTA has compiled some documents with straightforward advice to help those in the industry manage at this complicated time.

If any more specific advice or guidance is needed, feel free to contact the FLTA office at admin@fork-truck.org.uk
