Powered industrial trucks, including forklifts, are essential in warehouses, construction sites, and industrial facilities — but they also pose serious safety risks. According to OSHA, about 85 fatalities and 34,900 serious injuries occur annually due to forklift and powered industrial truck accidents.
The Powered Industrial Truck (Forklift) Safety Training Course teaches workers how to safely operate forklifts and other powered industrial trucks while complying with safety standards from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
This course provides both classroom instruction and practical guidance on safe forklift operation, hazard awareness, and accident prevention in warehouse, construction, and industrial environments.
Participants will learn essential topics including forklift controls and operation, load handling, workplace hazards, inspection procedures, and safe operating practices.
