Forklift Training - 29 CFR 1910.178

Forklift safety training is mandatory.

In December of 1999, OSHA mandated that all new forklift operators must be trained, regardless of experience. All forklift operators, regardless of experience, must be evaluated for competency at least every three years. The new rules require that forklift training be specific to the equipment you operate and specific to the conditions (location) under which the equipment is operated. This course meets 29CFR 1910.178.

We offer a comprehensive forklift training program for experienced and new forklift operators. Our training program covers 30 topics and is good for forklift operators in the manufacturing sector or yard environments. This program teaches students everything from forklift engineering principles & operator safety rules to forklift maintenance and the importance of inspections, from proper refueling techniques to the need for personal protective equipment and working near coworker’s. This program exceeds OSHA

regulations; each student must pass a written test and performance evaluation. Participants receive a student workbook and wallet card certificate valid for 3-years.

Reasons for The OSHA standard

Each year, tens of thousands of injuries related to powered industrial trucks (PIT), or forklifts, occur in US workplaces. Many employees are injured when lift trucks are inadvertently driven off loading docks, lifts fall between docks and an unsecured trailer, they are struck by a lift truck, or when they fall while on elevated pallets and tines. Most incidents also involve property damage, including damage to overhead sprinklers, racking, pipes, walls, and machinery. Unfortunately, most employee injuries and property damage can be attributed to lack of safe operating procedures, lack of safety-rule enforcement, and insufficient or inadequate training.
