OSHA's new training rule, 29 CFR
1910.178 para L, Powered Industrial
Trucks, dated 12/1/98, mandates that all
operator hires before 12/1/99 must be
trained before 12/1/99 and all operators
hired after this date must be
trained before allowed to operate lift
trucks.
OSHA Forklift Standard final-compliance
was required by March 1, 1999. Federal
Register 29 CFR 1910.178(1) states:
"Only trained and authorized
operators shall be permitted to
operate industrial truck (forklift).
Methods shall be devised to train
operators in the safe operation of
powered industrial trucks."
The new regulations require that: |
-
Operators shall have truck specific,
including attachments and site
specific training prior to operating
a powered industrial truck.
-
The training must be conducted by
persons who have the knowledge,
training and experience to train
operators and judge their
competency.

Our program includes: |
-
Operator reference handbook
-
Classroom video presentations that
outline:
Design of lift trucks
Energy sources and fire protections
Maintenance and inspection
Use of lift trucks
Narrow aisle equipment
-
A copy of the current OSHA
regulation
-
A Certificate and Safety Training
Card to show compliance with current
OSHA laws.
These supplemental training materials
will help you comply with the specific
training requirements and safe operating
procedures outlined in this regulation.
Non-compliance can result in costly OSHA
fines and penalties, not to mention
costly litigation and liability, medical
bills, lost wages and product damage.
Every year there are over 68,000
reported accidents that involve
forklifts, more than 13,000 Worker's
Compensation claims are filed as a
result of forklift accidents and 70-90%
of all accidents are caused by operator
error. Furthermore, unnecessary wear and
tear resulting in higher maintenance
costs is attributable to improper
operation and poorly trained drivers. A
professional forklift operator takes the
responsibility to drive safely at all
times and does not take chances that may
cause injury or damage to product or
property.
