Top Five OSHA Violations Operating a forklift fleet is already an expensive proposition, and injuries on the job or citations from OSHA only compound costs. With the litany of regulations to follow it is easy to fall behind, and it takes only a few seconds for things to go wrong…sometimes terribly wrong. Midwest Industrial Equipment has trained hundreds of operators and visited many facilities. During our visits, we observe plenty of hazards and violations. The following is our “Top Five” list of most-seen violations or safety hazards:
With the holiday season upon us, personnel will grow, and many of these new employees will have little or no experience on lift equipment, much less lift equipment at your specific facility and in your internal department. In order to be certain that you are taking the necessary steps to ensure safety for these new hires, be sure that a credible source trains them. We have a wide variety of forklift operator training programs and materials to fit your needs. Whether you train your own operators and simply need quality, reliable supplies or need your entire workforce trained on a variety of equipment, we can assist you. We want to see all of our customers operate safe and productive facilities. Have a question about forklift training or OSHA? Want to schedule training for your employees?
