What PMT Does in it's Spare Time
Family, community and giving back are core values we hold dear at PMT. We know that without YOU, our customer, none of this would be attainable.
In coming months, we will be sharing some of the ways we use our time, talents and income to share and give back.
This month, PMT hosted a BBQ outing and Long Island Ducks game for our employees. Everyone enjoyed the food, time together, giveaways, and the Ducks won! Below is a picture from the event.

Top 5 Forklift Safety Violations: Are You Guilty?
Operating a forklift fleet is already an expensive proposition, and injuries on the job or citations from OSHA only compound costs. With the litany of regulations to follow, it is easy to fall behind, and it takes only a few seconds for things to go wrong...sometimes terribly wrong.
We have trained thousands of operators and visited hundreds of facilities. During our facility visits, we observe plenty of hazards and violations. The following is our "Top Five" list of most-seen violations or safety hazards:
- Lifting, lowering, and driving with an elevated load - Visit OSHA's Forklift eTool section on Mast Placement to see requirements and regulations for moving the mast.
- Neglected pre-shift inspections - Click HERE to see what OSHA requires and recommends regarding how to inspect and what to do if you find a problem. Avoid costly injuries, product loss, and lawsuits by knowing and abiding by the regulation.
- Refresher training not completed every three years - There are many safety hazards that we could mention on this list, but ignored training seems to appear most often...at a high cost if OSHA visits you. Read about the required refresher training HERE on OSHA's eTool.
- Operating too fast for conditions - While OSHA does not set specific speeds for forklift operation, it does recommend "safe" speeds. Read OSHA's recommendations and requirements on speed and maneuvering HERE. We have witnessed plenty of instances where forklifts were operated at speeds too high for facility conditions. Be sure to create and enforce standards among operators.
- Not securing trailers or using wheel chocks before entering a semi-trailer - We all operate at fast speed and often have a lot to do, but we also have seen the internet videos of what happens when a trailer pulls away and the driver believes that his trailer is loaded or unloaded. Learn what OSHA says about railroad cars and trailers by clicking HERE.
We want to see all of our customers operate safe and productive facilities. Have a question about forklift training or OSHA? Want to schedule training for your employees? Give us a call at 631-661-5050 (Long Island) or 718-298-5270 (NYC).
