QUESTIONS ABOUT RING POWER LIFT TRUCK TRAINING?
|
|
|
|
Q:
|
Who must be trained?
|
|
A:
|
Each and every operator. This means that full-time, part-time, seasonal, substitute,
and occasional operators -- regardless of experience -- must be trained. In other
words, you cannot legally allow any one of your operators - even experienced operators
- to operate a powered industrial truck until they have successfully passed the
required training and evaluation by a qualified instructor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q:
|
Is general training adequate?
|
|
A:
|
No. Your training must be site-and forklift specific. There are too many differences
with forklifts and too many variables with each site to address your specific safety
issues in a general training program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q:
|
What must the training program include?
|
|
A:
|
A combination of formal (classroom-type) and hands-on training in a series of truck
and workplace related topics. Classroom training last about 4 hours per class and
about 15 minutes per person for the evaluation.
Ring Power Lift Trucks offers a seven-part training program that addresses key
training issues, including lift truck fundamentals, pre-operational inspection,
operating safety guidelines, safe load-handling techniques, fueling gasoline, diesel
and liquid propane lift trucks, and battery charging and recharging.

site and forklift sections of the OSHA Law.
