Training Concerns for Your Portable Lifting Equipment
If you are training your employees on any piece of equipment, whether it be a lift stacker or forklift, there are a few important things to keep in mind.
- A demonstration of the proper use of the equipment is one of the most important features, no matter how simple the operation may be.
- A lift stacker, for example, should be fully demonstrated including the proper use of any hand cranks, foot pumps and the appropriate way to load the lift stacker.
- You should be sure to explain what the capacity of the lift stacker or other equipment is rated at and if there are any safety concerns regarding potential pinched fingers, eye hazards or other issues.
- Does your lift stacker have a safety catch, wheel lock or other mechanism? Explain these in full as well.
