Fork lifts can also be used to raise, lower, or remove large objects or a number of smaller objects on pallets or in boxes, crates, or other containers. Powered industrial trucks can either be ridden by the operator or controlled by a walking operator.  There are many varieties of powered industrial trucks and each type presents different operating hazards. QualSafe understands the risks involved with fork lift operation and can train your team on how to safely operate and maintain powered industrial trucks.

Determining the best way to protect workers from injury largely depends on the type of truck being operated and the worksite conditions where it is being utilized.  Employers must ensure that each powered industrial truck operator is competent to operate a powered industrial truck safely, as demonstrated by the successful completion of the training and evaluation specified in 29 CFR 1910.178(l)(1).

It is a violation of Federal law for anyone UNDER 18 years of age to operate a fork lift or for anyone OVER 18 years of age who is not properly trained and certified to do so.  QualSafe will only train those that meet OSHA’s standards for all fork lift operating courses.
