As of
December 1, 1998 the final rule for Forklifts (CFR
1910.178) was issued. Compliance is mandatory by
March 1, 1999.
This standard
calls for employers to "implement a training
program and ensure that only trained drivers who
have successfully completed the training program
are allowed to operate powered industrial trucks."
Under the revised rule, industrial truck operators
must receive training both in the classroom and on
the trucks. A "designated" person must review each
truck operator's performance at least once a year,
with remedial training provided to those the
designated person determines need additional
training.
This course is
conducted at the company site and consists of four
hours classroom training (including the new
regulation requirements) and four hours of hands-on
training.
Cost for the 8
hour course is $85.00 per person.
