Foreword
To OWNERS, USERS, and OPERATORS:
The safe and efficient operation of a lift truck
requires
skill and alertness on the part of the operator. To develop
the skill required, the operator must:
•
Receive training, pursuant to OSHA 1910.178(l) dated
12/98, in the proper operation of THIS lift truck.
•
Understand the capabilities and limitations of the lift
truck.
•
Become familiar with the construction of the lift truck and
see that it is maintained in good condition.
•
Read and properly understand the warnings, instruc-
tions, and operating procedures in this manual.
In addition, a qualified person, experienced in lift truck
operation, must guide a new operator through several driv-
ing and load handling operations before the new operator
attempts to operate the lift truck alone.
It is the responsibility of the employer to make sure that the
operator can see, hear, and has the physical and mental
ability to operate the equipment safely.
Various laws and regulations require the employer to train
lift truck operators. These laws and regulations include:
•
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) (USA)
•
Canada Material Handling Regulations
NOTE:
A comprehensive operator training program is avail-
able from
