Forklift Operator Safety Training
This title incorporates necessary changes based on OSHA's "Walking-Working Surfaces" rule published November 18, 2016.
Course Length: 60 minutes
Overview: A forklift is a powered, mechanical device that is used to move of lift loads. Although this seems like a simple task, forklifts can cause serious injury or death if they are misused or if the operator isn’t properly trained on how to use the equipment safely.
This course helps satisfy the operator training requirements under OSHA's Powered Industrial Trucks Standard (1910.178(l)). Specifically, it is designed to help learners choose, inspect, and operate a forklift in a safe way, protecting themselves and their coworkers from the potential hazards associated with their use.
After completing this course, learners will be able to:
- Identify the various kinds of forklifts and their controls, and how they differ from automobiles
- Discuss the center of gravity and stability triangle concepts
- Explain what to look for when performing a pre-use inspection
