Forklift Safety Day 2024
What You Can Do to Recognize Forklift Safety Day
Forklift Safety Day is a great opportunity to review your forklift safety program and/or plan. And if you don’t have a program or plan, this would be a great opportunity to create one!
Start with Training
- Are all of your forklift operators up-to-date on their training. Remember, forklift operators must receive refresher training every three years, and be evaluated on the equipment that they operate.
- How well do you know your operators? Download our Forklift Operator Questionnaire to get to know their experience operating lift equipment.
- Learn more about Operator Training and our classes at our Training Page.
Inspections and Maintenance
- We know that pre-shift inspections of all equipment are required by OSHA. But did you know that by taking a few minutes to inspect equipment not only improves safety, it helps you identify small issues before they blossom into giant repair or injury and damage headaches.
- Planned Maintenance – This is a great opportunity to review your current PM program. Is it being executed properly according to intervals you require? Is the Planned Maintenance complete and thorough? A thorough and robust Planned Maintenance program is key to maintaining safety and productivity of your forklifts.
