Forklift / Crane Safety Training |
|
Forklift safety training is a workplace necessity and should be a top
priority in light of these troubling statistics: in the U.S. alone,
forklift operation results in 100 deaths and 20,000 serious injuries
every year!
A never-ending stream of challenges make safe forklift
operations serious and demanding work. One misstep and the operator may
tip the truck, drop the load, or crush a fellow worker. That's why
state and federal regulations require forklift drivers to be trained
and certified and at least 18 years old before operating a forklift.
Training must be reviewed and updated at least every three years.
Forklift drivers also need additional training after any accident or
near miss, if they are observed operating in an unsafe manner, and
anytime work conditions or equipment change.
Yet, even with all these safety training requirements, in recent years,
forklift violations have ranked 5th in the number of OSHA citations.
