Lift trucks are responsible for a large percentage of industrial accidents, either as the primary or the secondary source of the accident. Reports of fatalities or injuries which involve operators or pedestrians are all very commonplace.
Training Requirement
Employers must develop and apply a training program for operators based on four factors: the kinds of vehicles being used in the workplace, the general principles of safe truck operation, the general safety requirements, based on OSHA and the certain hazards of the workplace. Training includes both formal and practical parts. At the training's completion, operators should pass an assessment showing they have the ability to properly operate a truck. OSHA also requires that powered industrial truck operators should be trained in certain specified subject matters that apply to operating a lift truck safely.
