If you're responsible for training forklift operators, then you need to attend our "Coaching the Lift Truck Operator" train-the-trainer seminar on January 12th. This course will cover all aspects of operator training, including OSHA and NIOSH requirements, picking and moving a load, vehicle inspections, pedestrian safety and more. You'll also receive the "Coaching the Lift Truck Operator" training kit, containing all the information you'll need to conduct your own training session. The kit includes two videos, an instructor's guide, overhead templates and more. Tuition is $399 for the first attendee and only $99 for each additional attendee you send. Contact Russ at 651-228-7326/800-444-9150 or budin@mnsafetycouncil.org to register.
