Forklift training class on March 1, 2012
Submitted by HR Compliance 101 on Wed 2/8/12 10:00 pm
If you have forklift operators who need to be trained or if you know of anyone who does, please help me pass the word about this class.
As a certified trainer, I’ll be conducting another Forklift training class from 8:00 a.m. to noon on March 1st. Training will be held in Fitzwilliam if there are 6 or fewer students and in Peterborough if there are 7 or more. There are seats left on a first come, first serve basis. The cost is $100 and includes an on-site evaluation of any class participants who successfully complete the test. Remember, if your company uses forklifts and OSHA shows up at your facility or job site, your employees need to prove they have been certified on the equipment they are operating with 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. Register now at www.hrcompliance101.com and I’ll confirm your registration by return e-mail.
