Forklift Safety from Decker Forklifts
Today we are going to talk about our most important priority which is safety. Forklifts are extremely dangerous machines and there are many injuries and fatalities nationwide as a result of both negligence and lack of training. It is an OSHA law that each forklift operator is trained and certified prior to operating a forklift. This becomes an important factor if there is an injury and both the operators and management can be fined by OSHA if this is not taken care of. We at Decker Forklifts train all of customers and operators at their request and we have a certified trainer in house we will train them both at your location or ours in our conference room with lunch provided. Please take a look at the certificate that is awarded to those who successfully completed the class. The class is taught with both hands on and classroom information. The hands on information is very practical and through in speaking about the sights of line, sights of vision, sounds, being aware of all the different activities going on in the area such as pedestrians as well as many of the most common accidents that may occur on the forklift. The classroom is taught with video as well as brochures and at the end of the class the drivers are all tested to make sure they are competent in these areas. As soon as the forklift operators begins after the class is taught, further day to day training is required due to the complex nature of operating a forklift. Thank you very much and please call Decker Forklifts for any of your forklift purchase or training needs.
