Site Specific Training: Six Things You Need to Consider
Equipment and site-specific training are required by OSHA. Most companies follow through on classroom training and hands-on evaluation, but many fall short when it comes to ensuring that their forklift operators are well aware of, and trained for, unique situations in their facilities that present potential dangers.
This month's Feature Article helps you identify and think through areas in your facility that make you vulnerable to an accident and the subsequent fallout from an accident.
For any questions or further information on training for your forklift operators, please contact us at 800-929-0561.
