1. What is included in forklift safety awareness training?
Our forklift awareness training addresses hazard recognition, stability concepts, load handling, pre-operational checks, safe operating practices, pedestrian safety and end-of-shift procedures. You'll be taught through videos, interactive modules, and knowledge checks.
2. What are the OSHA requirements for forklift refresher training?
OSHA mandates refresher training every three years or earlier if an operator is seen driving unsafely, involved in an accident, re-assigned to another truck, or if workplace conditions drastically change.
3. What is the 3 foot rule for forklifts?
The 3-foot rule necessitates keeping at least three feet of space between the forklift and pedestrians, storage racks, or other objects. This safety buffer protects against collisions and crushing accidents.
4. What does OSHA say about forklift training?
OSHA requires that formal instruction, practical training, and performance evaluation be provided for all forklift operators before they are allowed to operate equipment. Training must be specific to the equipment type and workplace conditions.
