whenever an owner/user
"authorizes" an employee
to operate an aerial
platform, he or she
shall ensure the
operator has been
trained. This places
accountability on the
authorizing party and,
in some states, the
authorizing party may be
held criminally liable
for improper

FORK LIFT TRAINING
INDUSTRIAL
OR ROUGH
TERRAIN
Forklift Operator
Training can play an
essential role in your
company's cost of doing
business. Studies
have shown that more
than 60% of your
material handling cost
can be operator related.
This cost comes in the
form of wages, health
benefits, level of
productivity and damage
done to your products,
equipment and
facilities.
It makes good business
sense to train your
operators, service
people or anyone that
works in or near areas
where lift trucks are
used. The benefits
of training include a
decrease in the amount
of work stoppage
attributable to
accidents, a reduction
in scrap caused by
improper truck
operation, and improved
operator confidence
levels which ultimately
in increased efficiency
and productivity.
The Occupational Safety
and Health
Administration (OSHA)
requires that operators
receive training.
the standard as
specified in section
1910.178, provision (1)
states:
"Only trained and
authorized operators
shall be permitted to
operate a powered
industrial truck.
Methods Shall be devised
to train operators in
the safe operation of
powered industrial
trucks." |
