POWERED INDUSTRIAL VEHICLES
Citations surrounding Powered Industrial Trucks are consistently in the top ten most frequently cited OSHA violations . EI offers a comprehensive suite of training and consultative services designed for personnel who operate forklifts and other powered industrial trucks in a variety of workplaces. Training topics include an overview of the OSHA standard (29 CFR 1910.178 Subpart N) and other safety standards for safe operation of industrial trucks. In addition to the classroom portion of each course, participants complete hands-on training with the type of lift/vehicle they will be utilizing on the job. After successful completion of this course, participants will receive pocket operator cards.
This course can also be taught as a “Train-the-Trainer” course where participants, upon the successful completion of the class, will have the knowledge and expertise to provide this training to other employees authorized to operate these vehicles.
Perhaps most importantly, our training staff will customize the curriculum to your existing powered industrial lift training program in training operators and new trainers. And if you’re at square 1 and in need of a written program at your facility, EI can develop a customized, site-specific program to serve as the foundation of your compliance efforts with 1910.178.
IN NEED OF OUR SERVICES?
Great article Bill! Really enjoyed the read. Very important stuff for everyone that maintains an OSHA 300 Log to know. Even after 22 years of doing this type of recordkeeping, I even learned a couple of new things from this article.
Will the Adoption of the ASTM E1527-21 Standard Practice Result in an Increased Phase I ESA Cost?
EPA’s Final Rule approving the ASTM E-1527-21 became effective on February 13, 2023, meaning that the updated standard may now be used to satisfy the All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI). This is a critical development for property purchasers seeking to qualify for the bona fide prospective purchaser (BFPP) safe-harbor defense to property liability under Federal and some state Superfund laws. EPA’s approval of the ASTM E1527-21 Standard came by a notice of Final Rule published December 15, 2022, following an extended review process.
