SafetyManager’s "Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck
Safety" Regulatory Compliance Kit™ has been specifically
created to involve employees in the process of understanding
forklift operation and to help facilities in fulfilling
the OSHA Powered Industrial Truck Standard (29 CFR,1910.178)
training requirements. Forklifts and other powered industrial
trucks are indispensable in many companies. They are rugged,
powerful tools that save time, money and effort. But the
same qualities that make them so helpful can also make
them dangerous. Using powered industrial trucks results
in over 100 fatalities and over 35,000 serious injuries
each year. When used incorrectly, or if forklifts and
other trucks are not properly maintained, they can do
significant damage.
The
Compliance Manual provides a detailed summary of the information
needed to comply with the OSHA Standard, as well as a
"fill-in-the-blank" Written Plan. The Posters in the Kit
remind employees to work carefully and safely with this
equipment.
