Operator Training
Productivity in Motion
Knowledge is vital, especially when operating materials handling equipment. In fact, did you know that anyone operating a powered fork lift truck is required to be certified?
It is required by the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
OSHA standard 1910.178(I) states "The employer shall ensure that each powered industrial truck operator is competent to operate a powered industrial truck safely, as demonstrated by the successful completion of training and evaluation specified in this paragraph (l)."
Employers are also required to develop and implement a training program based on the general principles of safe truck operation, the types of vehicle(s) being used in the workplace, the hazards of the workplace created by the use of the vehicle(s), and the general safety requirements of the OSHA standard.
A properly trained lift truck operator can help:
- Reduce Lift Truck Downtime
- Limit Lost-Time Injuries
- Improve Driver Efficiency
- Minimize Product Damage and Accidents
- Improve Your Company's Bottom Line
