Forklift Formal Operator Training
Forklifts are everywhere so we often don’t think of the hazards they pose.
At this time, OSHA requires all drivers of Powered Industrial Trucks to receive forklift formal operator & practical training before being permitted to operate the truck (29 CFR 1910.178). Correspondingly, this interactive training program complies with the requirements of the rule.
Subsequently, the Sunshine Safety Council offers you a variety of options to accomplish compliance with this training.
