Forklift / Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) Safety

Employers are required by OSHA regulations to ensure that operators of forklift and powered industrial vehicles complete approved forklift safety training every three years. Since many types of industrial vehicles pose different hazards, OSHA requires proper lift truck or forklift safety training. Forklift safety precautions also cover eliminating exposure to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
