Product Information

This "Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Safety" Employee Booklet has been created specifically 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. 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 employee booklet 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 employee booklet features text, illustrations and a quiz, and is 16 pages in length. Booklets are available in packages of 15.
