Forklift Training

KEEP WORKERS SAFE — GET REGULAR FORKLIFT TRAINING

Are all your forklift operators up-to-date on their safety training?

"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."

The above quote comes directly from The U.S. Department of Labor's OSHA website. OSHA standards hold employers responsible for providing their forklift operators with proper safety training. OSHA can impose fines of $7,000 to $70,000 per safety violation if training lapses.

Avoid fines—and more importantly, keep your workers safe—with Safety Training from Cromer.
