National Safety Month – Powered Industrial Trucks

Powered Industrial Trucks – Have all of your powered industrial truck operators gone through the proper training?

OSHA requires all operators to be fully trained, evaluated, and certified by a competent instructor. Refresher training must be given every 3 years.  This is one of the most cited standards in regards to OSHA violations.

In the U.S. there is a forklift related fatality every 3 days and 95,000 non-fatal injuries ever year.  Prevent accident and injuries by providing proper safety training. Don’t have an in-house trainer?  Reach out to Crest’s Director of Risk Services, Marc Kosiek any time to discuss forklift training for your team. mkosiek@crestins.com.
