Operator Training and Evaluation in accordance with OSHA requirements.
NewTec Inc. is pleased to annouce that we offer operator training and evaluation in accordance with OSHA requirements!
Each year, tens of thousands of injuries related to forklifts, occur in US workplaces. Many employees are injured
when lift trucks are inadvertently driven off loading docks, lifts fall between docks and an unsecured trailer,
they are struck by a lift truck, or when they fall while on elevated pallets and tines. Most incidents also
involve property damage, including damage to overhead sprinklers, racking, pipes, walls, and machinery. Unfortunately,
most employee injuries and property damage can be attributed to lack of safe operating procedures, lack of safety-rule
enforcement, and insufficient or inadequate training.
OSHA has promulgated the Final Rule for Powered Industrial Truck Operator Training [29 CFR 1910.178(l)], which
became effective March 1, 1999. The standard requires operator training and licensing as well as periodic evaluations
of operator performance. The standard also addresses specific training requirements for truck operation, loading, seat
belts, overhead protective structures, alarms, and maintenance of industrial trucks. Refresher training is required
if the operator is observed operating the truck in an unsafe manner, is involved in an accident or near miss, or
is assigned a different type of truck.
