Forklift Operator Training: Prevent violations and injuries by knowing OSHA’s training requirements

When

3/14/24 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm CDT

Event Description

Join us for an educational webinar as we cover OSHA’s most common forklift-related violation: an operator not properly trained – 1910.178(L)(1)(I). We’ll break down OSHA’s requirements for conducting forklift operator training and provide tips that aren’t addressed in the regulations so you can ensure your program is as effective as it can be.

We’ll answer the following questions and more:

  • Who can/should conduct training?
  • What topics should be covered?
  • When should refresher training be conducted?
  • Do experienced new employees still require training?
  • What is a good evaluation?
  • Should there be a probationary period after training?

Time will be reserved for a live Q&A session. Bring your forklift compliance questions!
