TAKING CONTROL OF FORKLIFT TRAINING
that teach forklift theory.
The modules contain high-quality video,
animation, images, photos and voiceover
followed by questions to assess the
operator’s understanding. As the modules
are available via a computer or smartphone,
they can be taken in-house, whenever it’s
convenient for the operator, making it much
simpler for a company to schedule forklift
training in slower periods and to track and
act on the results immediately.
Vesconite
It’s difficult for a company to know the exact
quality and content of forklift training when
they send an operator on a refresher course.
Did the operator understand the materials?
Did the trainer cover all relevant concepts?
Will the operator remember what was
taught?
An online forklift certificate course produced
by Tasman Training and available via DT
Driver Training’s driver education website
enables a company’s owner, health and
safety manager or training manager to
monitor a forklift operator’s performance and
results as they work through 16 modules

CARBON GRAPHITE
SHORTAGE KICK STARTS SEARCH FOR BETTER BEARINGS
A graphite shortage has meant that manufacturers of submersible motors and pumps are switching to
impact and wear-resistant Vesconite bearings.
The company has received enquiries for the switch from carbon graphite to Vesconite for sleeve and
thrust bearings and mechanical seals for submersible motors and for line-shaft bushings and wear
rings for submersible pumps.
This follows what clients describe as a global shortage of six grades of carbon graphite, that are
produced by manufacturers as tubes, rods, sheets and finished machined items.
Vesconite has many advantages over carbon graphite including that it is easier and more economical
to machine. While carbon graphite needs to be produced in a strictly controlled environment,
requires lapping and polishing to ensure smoothness, and needs to be glued and baked to adhere to
components, Vesconite has no such requirements.
KEEPING SITE SAFETY ON THE RIGHT TRACK

SiteSoft GeoTrack tracks your contractors and
visitors and meets the compliance requirements of
the 2015 Health & Safety at Work Act.
“Our solution uses GPS tracking technologies to
determine if a visitor or contractor is entering a site,
is onsite or is leaving a site. Upon arrival SiteSoft
GeoTrack date and time stamps the visit and
delivers a site-specific induction to the person’s
mobile device. They are then required to view the
provided induction material and acknowledge that
it was read,” says SiteSoft.
They are also prompted to provide a reason
for their site visit which makes reporting quick,
convenient and thorough.
So how are contractors tracked? A GeoFence
is set up on a map. A GeoFence (magic fence,
invisible fence as some call it) is an area marked
on a map. Think of it as a virtual perimeter. When
a contractor crosses the virtual perimeter, they are
marked to be onsite. You can see it live in your
onsite reports.
You can also register hazards, risks and incidents
using SiteSoft which can automatically displayed to
visitors and contractors when they enter your site.
