Used Caterpillar Dual Fuel Forklifts San Jose

Lift Truck Training
Many industries use powered industrial trucks for material handling. In the recycling industry, internal combustion powered forklifts are commonly used. Lift truck operation requires well trained operators. Training is a requirement within North America, and for a really good reason. A forklift could cause personal injury or serious property damage if not safely used. A forklift that is loaded can weight three times as much as a motor vehicle. Lift trucks are responsible for numerous industrial accidents, either as the secondary or the primary source of the accident. Reports of injuries or fatalities involving pedestrians or operators are all too commonplace.

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