March 2, 2007, Newsletter Issue #53: Lifts And OSHA Requirements
1
Tip of the Week
Did you know that OSHA sets down specific training requirements for lift operators? Those requirements include the usual lift operation procedures, but there are also requirements to educate workers on falling hazards, falling-object issues, and electrical hazards. Lift operators are also required to be trained on how to respond to such safety problems, and demonstrate that they are able to properly operate a lift. Any worker that cannot operate the equipment in the approved manner must be trained again. Failure to retrain, or €œpencil-whipping€ a training session for the sake of getting everyone qualified in a hurry not only violates safety laws, it also sets your company up for major liability issues including lawsuits and investigations. Being in compliance with OSHA can mean taking time out of your daily business operation for training, but the results are worth the effort.
