Description:
MARCOM's "Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Safety" Videotape Program has been specifically created to involve employees in the process of understanding forklift operation and to help facilities in fulfilling the OSHA Powered Industrial Truck Standard (29 CFR,1910.178) training requirements. The Videotape reviews how to inspect forklifts and other powered industrial truck equipment prior to operation, safe operating procedures, forklift stability, and how to recognize potential problem situations. Forklifts and other powered industrial trucks are indispensable in many companies. They are rugged powerful tools that save time, money and effort. But the same qualities that make them so helpful can also make them dangerous. Using powered industrial trucks results in over 100 fatalities and over 35,000 serious injuries each year. When used incorrectly, or if forklifts and other trucks are not properly maintained, they can do significant damage. The Videotape includes information on OSHA's certification process, the seven classes of industrial trucks, equipment checkout, a forklift's "stability triangle", safe operating procedures, lifting and lowering loads, trucks and loading docks, equipment maintenance, and more. The Videotape Program comes with a comprehensive Leader's Guide, reproducible Scheduling & Attendance Form, Employee Quiz, Training Certificate and Training Log.
