Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Safety

MARCOM's "Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Safety" Compliance Manual is designed to help facilities comply with the OSHA Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Standard (29 CFR 1910.178). The Manual reviews the regulation and the compliance requirements, and contains a complete "fill-in-the-blank" Written Plan. By filling in the blanks, any facility can create a complete written program that will help them meet the Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Standard's compliance requirements. Thousands of accidents and more than 100 deaths are attributed to the improper operation of forklifts and other powered industrial trucks every year. OSHA's “Powered Industrial Truck” standard (29 CFR 1910.178) was revised in 1999 to make sure that all operators of these vehicles are properly trained. Subjects covered in the Manual include the background of the standard; major compliance requirements; employee training requirements; a “fill-in-the-blank” written plan, including sections on truck specifications and operating environments, truck inventory and approved areas of operation forms, labeling and attachment inspection form, "Hazardous location" listing, battery checklist, forklift inspection checklist, truck maintenance log, employee training records; a glossary of terms; and sources for additional information.
