Forklift Operator Training 104:
This OSHA forklift operator training video course 104 [Straddle Stackers] is the fourth course in the OSHA Forklift Certification Training Series. While a forklift is commonly thought of as something employees drive, there is another class of forklifts specifically designed for warehouses and narrow spaces. These are the Hand Forklift or Hand Truck, Pallet Stacker, and the Narrow Aisle Reach Trucks, and are often referred to as Pallet Jacks. These forklifts are smaller and have the ability to easily navigate tight spaces. They can also raise and lower a load above several feet. However, even though they are small, they can still be hazardous (especially electric hand trucks). Hazards include being run over, loads spilling, being crushed, and having the forklift tip over. Also included with this forklift operator training course are digital copies of additional training materials for print, including a leadership guide, course exam and course answer sheet. This forklift training course can be used as the basis for approximately one hour of instructor-guided training.
OSHA Forklift Operator Training Course includes:
Forklift Operator Training 104
forklift inspection:
All aspects of the forklift should be examined, including the wheels, warning lights, movement of the forks, the lift cylinder, the handle, the mast, the protective guard, the carriage and the backrest. It is also important that your company perform regular maintenance on the forklift to keep it working properly. Defects, when found, must be immediately reported and corrected. Inspections shall be made at least daily according to OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.178(q)(7).
operation and stability:
Unlike the typical forklift where employee sits and drive, Straddle Stackers (Hand Forklift - Pallet Jacks) are designed to be either pushed or pulled through the workspace. On some versions, the employee can stand behind the forklift and "ride-along" with the forklift (Pallet Truck). The most important safety factor is understating stability and how to keep the forklift load balanced properly on the forks. Both of these require an understanding of the Load Moment and the Stability Triangle, which refer to how the load is balanced and when it becomes off-balance, causing a potential tip over or spill. Simple safety understanding is delivered like "The farther away from the ballast it moves, the higher the likelihood of a tip-over".
incident prevention:
Incident Prevention begins with employees having an understanding of the load they are moving, the environment they are moving through, and how their particular forklift operates. Most forklift accidents are caused by operator error, from not paying attention, putting too much weight on the forklift, not arranging the load weight properly, and even speeding. Even though the pallet stacker is often pulled or pushed, it can still tip over and cause injury.
The above forklift safety course is sent as one DVD containing video, training aids and resources.
