Think driving a forklift is just like driving a car? Not even close. Forklifts are a leading cause of workplace injuries, and many companies don’t even realize they may be out of compliance with OSHA regulations... until an accident happens and they're in trouble. In this episode you’ll learn why proper forklift training isn’t just a formality, but a critical safety measure that protects your workers, reduces liability, and keeps your operation running smoothly.
We break down why certification is required for every model of industrial lift your business uses, the most common mistakes companies make, and the small but serious OSHA violations that can lead to major problems. You’ll also hear real examples of forklift accidents and simple ways to prevent them.
We've even got a story for you about training our very own Life Safety team on how to drive our forklift (spoiler: the ladies took the wheel on this one!).
So whether forklifts are part of your daily routine, or just an obstacle you dodge in a warehouse aisle, this episode is packed with safety tips you won’t want to miss.
