Avoid OSHA Fines: HR Compliance 101 Offers Forklift Training
Submitted by HR Compliance 101 on Tue 7/26/11 8:34 am
As a certified trainer, I'll be conducting another forklift training class from 8 a.m. to noon on September 7. If your company uses forklifts, you need to send your forklift operators to this class. If OSHA shows up at your facility or job site, your employees have to prove they have been certified on the equipment they are operating. They must have a signed card on their person. If they aren’t certified or if they aren’t carrying the card, OSHA will fine you. A lot.
Training will be hosted at MOLDPRO in West Swanzey, NH. A few seats are left on a first come, first served basis. The cost is $100 and includes an on-site evaluation of any class participants who successfully complete the test.
