Course topics include common vehicle types, including forklift safety, scissor lift safety, and aerial boom safety. Our online certification courses present an overview of the important rules and regulations associated with industrial truck safety training, including safe operating requirements, rollover protective structures, and best practices and training standards for the safe use of industrial equipment.

Work involving a power truck and similar vehicles presents serious safety issues for the operator and everyone on the worksite. Employees, supervisors, and managers who work with or around these workplace vehicles must meet safety training requirements. Otherwise, improper power truck operation can result in injuries, fatalities, and financial losses. According to labor statistics, at least a quarter of industrial truck-related accidents can be attributed to a lack of proper training.

Even under the best circumstances, operating a forklift, scissor lift, or aerial boom lift carries a number of risks. However, proper safety training can reduce employee and bystander injuries as well as material damage to equipment, structures, and terrain.
