High-Impact Forklift Operator Training

Nearly 1,000,000 powered industrial trucks are used in the workplace today. They are produced in many different sizes and models and help us perform a wide variety of tasks. While these machines assist us in lifting and moving heavy loads, they can also be extremely dangerous to operate.

Each year, powered industrial trucks account for more than 100,000 injuries and over 100 deaths. To prevent accidents that result in personal injury and property damage, forklift operators must possess the physical and mental ability to operate this equipment safely.

The eight forklift accidents re-created in this video will show your employees the life-threatening consequences of incorrect and unsafe lift truck operation. As a result, operators and pedestrians will be motivated to make an ongoing commitment to safety in areas where forklifts are present. They will also understand the three basic areas of forklift safety.
