Powered Industrial Truck (Forklift Operator) Training
Compliance Area:
Occupational Safety
Description:
Forklifts and other powered industrial trucks are indispensable in many companies. They are rugged, powerful tools that save time, money and effort. However, the same qualities that make them so helpful can also make them dangerous. When used incorrectly, or not properly maintained, forklifts can do significant damage. With over 100 fatalities and over 35,000 serious injuries each year, it is critical that all industrial truck operators receive the proper safety training. This course should be taken by all University employees whose job descriptions involve forklift use.
