Lift Truck Training

Many industries utilize powered industrial trucks for material handling. In the recycling industry, internal combustion powered forklifts are generally used. Lift truck operation need well trained operators. Within North America, training is a requirement, and for a very good reason. A forklift can cause serious property damage or personal injury if not safely utilized. A forklift that is loaded can weight three times as much as a motor vehicle. Lift trucks are responsible for many industrial accidents, either as the secondary or the primary source of the accident. Reports of injuries or fatalities involving operators or pedestrians are all too commonplace.



Training Requirement

A training program for operators should be developed and implemented by employers. Additionally, the program should be based on four factors: the general principles of safe truck operation, the types of vehicles being utilized within the workplace, the specific hazards of the workplace and the general safety requirements, based on OSHA. Training combines both practical and formal components. At the training's completion, operators must pass an assessment showing they have the ability to operate the truck properly. OSHA also requires that operators of powered industrial trucks should be trained in certain specific topics that is applicable to safely operating a lift truck.
