Operator Safety & Technical Training

Operator training is essential in promoting a safe work environment. Not only is operator training important to the safety of employees, it’s required.

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act) regulations require specialized training and regular re-training for forklift operators, and remedial training for operators involved in accidents or near-accidents.

Properly trained lift truck operators and pedestrians can help:

  • Minimize product damage and accidents
  • Improve the company's bottom line
  • Reduce lift truck downtime
  • Improve driver efficiency
  • Limit lost-time injuries
