Forklift Training

Forklift training is an important step for all would-be forklift operators. DC Motors Plus understands just how dangerous forklifts can be if not used properly. Nearly 1,000,000 forklifts are in use in the United States currently, and approximately 1.3 accidents per vehicle will be logged over their lifetime. That’s a lot of accidents! With proper forklift certification many of these accidents could have been avoided.

Forklift training will teach operators of forklifts the proper safety precautions for protecting themselves as well as others near the forklift operating area.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA for short) training requirements for forklifts are in place to reduce the number of injuries and deaths that occur annually.

Forklift training programs are based on many factors including the forklift operator’s prior knowledge and skill, the types of forklifts used in the workplace, hazards at the workplace, and the driver's ability to operate safely.

These are the types of forklifts being used indoors in warehouses around the country. With so many forklift types in use, training is often varied with each model. But basic safety training is the same for all forklifts.

Above all, employers must train and continually retrain their forklift operators to drive safely to ensure a safe workplace.
