Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Safety Refresher Training

In many of today's facilities forklifts and other powered industrial trucks are a necessity. Their ability to quickly move heavy loads from place to place, store and retrieve materials from different heights, and load and unload trucks and other vehicles make them indispensable. Most employees recognize what industrial trucks do for us and the fact that they are rugged, powerful tools.

However, what many employees don't remember is that the same hardworking qualities that make industrial trucks so helpful... power and strength... can also make them dangerous. Because industrial trucks are such powerful and heavy equipment, when one is involved in an accident it is usually serious. Industrial trucks can inflict a great deal of damage and cause major injuries.

TPC Training Systems' refresher training products on "Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Safety" give employees the information they need to refresh their knowledge of OSHA's Forklift regulation... as cost effectively as possible. Topics covered in these products include:

• The seven classes of industrial trucks.
• Equipment checkout.

• Trucks and loading docks.
