Description:MARCOM's "Forklift/Powered
Industrial Truck Safety" Video 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 Video
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 Video 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 Video Program comes with a comprehensive Leader's Guide,
reproducible Scheduling & Attendance Form, Employee Quiz, Training
Certificate and Training Log.
