Celebrating 30 Years of Simon Docherty at RTITB!

Last week marked an incredible milestone for our Centre Manager, Simon Docherty, who celebrated 30 years with RTITB.

We took the opportunity to come together as a team and reflect on Simon’s journey. Along the way, there were plenty of laughs (some stories best kept off Facebook!), but one theme stood out above all else: support.

For three decades, Simon has been a constant source of guidance, encouragement, and expertise for so many across the company. His impact on colleagues past and present is something we’re truly grateful for.

And just to put things into perspective… when Simon started with RTITB back in 1996:
• Trainspotting was on cinema screens
• The Spice Girls were about to top the charts
• And England fans were singing “Three Lions” for the first time, during Euro ‘96

Fast forward to today, and Simon continues to play a vital role in RTITB, delivering training courses and supporting our standards in health and safety and vehicle maintenance.

Simon, thank you for your dedication, your expertise, and your unwavering support over the last 30 years. Here’s to an incredible achievement, and many more successes ahead!

This National Forklift Safety Day, (9 June) the spotlight is on the people who help to keep fleets running safely - technicians. It’s a reminder that safety doesn’t start and end with the truck. It runs through the entire operation.

Genuine operational safety is about more than one action. It connects training, behaviour, compliance, culture, and data. Break one link and risk may increase. That’s why technician safety must be built into training, reinforced through clear processes and standards, and underpinned by accurate, accessible data.

This , let’s come together to build safer workplace cultures for every part of forklift operations.

Digitising MHE training records isn’t just easier than you think, it’s a relief you can feel.

Forklift training matters because incidents can come from human decisions.

When training is inconsistent, out of date, or treated as a one‑off event, risk creeps in. Skills fade. Shortcuts appear. Compliance becomes harder to prove.

Effective forklift training does more than teach controls. It builds judgement. Reinforces safe behaviour. Creates confident operators who know why safety matters, not just what the rules are.

But training alone can’t stand in isolation.

That’s where the RTITB Safety Chain comes in to connect training with behaviour, supervision, training records, and compliance, so every link supports the next. With no weak points waiting to become incidents.

If you want training that truly prevents incidents, it starts with strengthening the whole chain. Contact our friendly team now to talk about the Safety Chain.
