Lift Truck Training

Lots of industries use powered industrial trucks for material handling. In the recycling industry, internal combustion powered forklifts are generally used. Lift truck operation requires well trained operators. Training is a requirement within North America, and for good reason. A forklift could cause personal injury or serious damage to property if not used safely. A forklift that is loaded could weight three times as much as a car. Lift trucks are responsible for numerous industrial accidents, either as the primary or the secondary source of the accident. Reports of fatalities or injuries involving operators or pedestrians are all too commonplace.



Training Requirement

A training program for operators should be developed and applied by employers. Furthermore, the program must be based on four factors: the kinds of vehicles being used in the workplace, the general principles of safe truck operation, the specific hazards of the workplace and the general safety requirements, based on OSHA. Training includes both practical and formal components. At the completion of the training, operators must pass an assessment showing they have the ability to operate the truck correctly. OSHA also requires that powered industrial truck operators should be trained in certain specified topics that is applicable to operating a lift truck safely.
