Event Description

Join us as we cover OSHA’s most common forklift violation: operator not properly trained – 1910.178(l)(1)(i). During this webinar, we’ll break down OSHA’s requirements for conducting forklift operator training. We’ll also 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?
  • What other training is needed?

Plus, a live Q&A session is your chance to ask your forklift-related compliance questions and get expert answers in real time!
