Event Description

Incidents involving forklifts, motorized pallet jacks and other powered industrial trucks contribute to thousands of injuries in workplaces each year, costing organizations millions in terms of fines, workers’ compensation costs and lost productivity. If your employees use this equipment, incidents and violations are a constant – and very real – threat.

Join us as we answer tough questions regarding PIT safety and compliance related to:

  • The scope of OSHA’s PIT standard
  • Training – who, when, what and by whom
  • Inspections and maintenance
  • Attachments and modifications
  • Operational issues
  • Personnel lifting platforms
  • And much more

This event will include a live Q&A session, so bring your PIT questions!
