Caterpillar Dual Fuel Forklifts Tucson

Lift Truck Training

For handling materials, there are many types of industries that utilize powered industrial trucks. In the recycling business, internal combustion powered forklifts are commonly used. Lift truck operation requires operators who are well trained. Within North America, training is a requirement, and for good reason. A forklift can cause serious damage to property or personal injury if not safely utilized. A loaded forklift can weight three times as much as a car. Lift trucks are accountable for a huge percentage of industrial accidents, either as the secondary or the primary source of the accident. Reports of fatalities or injuries involving operators or pedestrians are all very 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 kinds of vehicles being used within 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 parts. At the training's completion, operators must pass an assessment showing they have the ability to operate the truck correctly. OSHA also requires that operators of powered industrial trucks should be trained in certain specified topics that apply to safely operating a lift truck.
