Operators of powered industrial forklifts are required to be fully trained and employer certified-per OSHA regulations. As part of the regulation, "the employer shall ensure that each powered industrial truck operator is competent to operate a powered industrial truck safely, as demonstrated by the successful completion of the training and evaluation".
Employers like yourself need an effective and comprehensive training program to meet this OSHA regulation.
Raymond Handling Solutions, Inc. helps you meet and exceed OSHA standard 1910.178 by offering specialized and comprehensive training material and programs. Not only do we offer Forklift Training and Training the Trainer Programs, we also offer free CAL/OSHA compliance and defense services in California: Safety Documentation, Safety Inspections, Safety Training, and Safety Consultation.

Lift Truck Training Program From Raymond Educates Pedestrians On Safety
The Raymond Corp. introduces an educational program — "Steps To Safety: Pedestrian Safety in a Material Handling Environment" — that assists an employer in teaching pedestrians how to act responsibly in environments where lift trucks are operated.
The training program, which includes a DVD, presentation materials with an end-of-program review, and a participant handout, can be facilitated by a local Raymond sales and service center representative or by a trainer within a company.
Raymond’s Steps To Safety program is uniquely designed to target the pedestrian, rather than the lift truck operator. This information assists the pedestrian in making the right decisions when working in material handling environments.
Pedestrians will gain environmental awareness and visual communication skills through segments ranging from “Being a Defensive Pedestrian” to “Thinking on Your Feet.” The program also facilitates discussion among participants about site-specific pedestrian requirements and concerns.
“In a warehouse environment, safety is everybody’s responsibility. Just as operators have to be trained on how to operate a lift truck in a warehouse, pedestrians need to know how to navigate in a warehouse where lift trucks are being used,” says Mike Angelini, manager of dealer and customer education for The Raymond Corp.
“Raymond created this new training resource after listening to our customers who were asking for help in developing employer-based pedestrian training programs.”
