Used Caterpillar Dual Fuel Forklifts Portland

Lift Truck Training
Many industries use powered industrial trucks for material handling. In the recycling business, internal combustion powered forklifts are popular. Lift truck operation requires well trained operators. Training is a requirement within North America, and for good reason. A forklift can cause personal injury or serious property damage if not operated safely. A loaded forklift could weight three times as much as an automobile. Lift trucks are responsible for a huge percentage of industrial accidents, either as the secondary or the primary source of the accident. Reports of injuries or fatalities involving both pedestrians or operators are all very commonplace.

Training Requirement
Employers should develop and apply a training program for operators based on four factors: the types of vehicles being utilized within the workplace, the general principles of safe truck operation, the general safety requirements, based on OSHA and the specific hazards of the workplace. Training includes both formal and practical components. At the completion of the training, operators must pass an assessment showing they have the ability to properly operate a truck. OSHA also requires that powered industrial truck operators should be trained in certain specific topics that apply to safely operating a lift truck.
