Feature Article: Site-Specific Training: Six Things You Need to Consider
Most companies are compliant with OSHA requirements when it comes to forklift operator classroom and hands-on training. However, many fall short when it comes to training their operators for the potential hazards within their own facility as required by OSHA.
This month's Feature Article highlights the 6 things you need to consider when putting together a comprehensive Site-Specific Training Program. It also walks you through the thought process so that you can look for other potential hazards unique to your facility and be sure your operators are prepared to operate forklifts around them.
