CFRM’s training of excellence
During the recent GIS 2023-Italian Days of Lifting and Exceptional Transport in Piacenza, the most important exhibition at the European level, the Merlo Training and Research Center confirmed itself as a major player in the field of training and safety in the use of machinery and equipment.
During the event, the CFRM received the ITALPLATFORM award as Operator Training Center of the Year for “the extraordinary work exemplified by the courses for operators with theoretical and especially practical training that encompasses every aspect involving safety in the various operational areas.”
This centre of excellence is the flagship of the Merlo Group in the area of education and training of operators to whom significant added value is offered that benefits those who work with the machines and emphasizes the importance of occupational safety while enriching the entire community.
In accepting the award, Paolo Peretti, director of the CFRM, stressed “the extraordinary importance of training in work contexts where, unfortunately, the human factor remains an unpredictable risk variable that is also difficult to manage. To improve the situation only one thing can be done: training, with the clear understanding that its purpose is to make work activities in general, and the use of machinery and equipment in particular, safer because they are entrusted to conscious, adequately trained and skilled workers”.
