Teamwork and Handling


Various Shapes and Sizes
If an object seems to heavy to lift, it

probably is.
When working with others,
communication is critical.
Your back should be kept straight when
you carry objects.
Special lifting tools should be sought out
and used for large objects.
Protect yourself when handling things.

Powered Industrial
Truck - Definition
A mobile,

power-propelled truck used to carry,


push, pull, lift, stack or tier materials. [American
Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
definition]
Excluded are vehicles used for earth moving and
over-the-road hauling.
Commonly known as forklifts, pallet trucks, rider
trucks, forktrucks, or lifttrucks.
Can be powered through electric or combustion
engines.
24

Scope of Standard
The

scope provisions of 1910.178(a), which are based


on ANSI B56.1 - 1969, remain in effect and cover:
... fork trucks, tractors, platform lift trucks, motorized
hand trucks, and other specialized industrial trucks
powered by electric motors or internal combustion
engines.
It does not apply to compressed air or nonflammable
compressed gas-operated industrial trucks, farm
vehicles, nor vehicles intended primarily for earth
moving or over-the-road hauling.
This scope covers general industry, construction and
shipyards.
25

Scope of Standard (continued)


For

marine terminal and longshoring


industries, all powered industrial trucks are
covered, no matter what specialized name
they are given.
This includes, but is not limited to, straddle
carriers, hustlers, toploaders, container
reach stackers, and other vehicles that
carry, push, pull, lift, or tier loads.
26

Reasons for New Standard


Powered

industrial truck accidents cause


approximately 100 fatalities and 36,340
serious injuries in general industry and
construction annually.
It is estimated that 20 - 25% of the
accidents are, at least in part, caused by
inadequate training.
27

Additional Reasons for New


Standard
Updated

consensus standards have been


published.
OSHA has been petitioned to improve the
requirements for industrial truck training.
Advisory Committee on Construction Safety and
Health has recommended improving the standard.
Resolutions have been introduced in the Senate
and House urging OSHA to revise its outdated
standard.

Background
The

previous OSHA standards, while


requiring operator training, did not define
the type of training or authorization
required.
March 15, 1988 - Industrial Truck
Association (ITA) petitioned OSHA for
specific training requirements.
33

Background (continued)
American

National Standards Institute


(ANSI), in cooperation with ASME, has
revised its standard 4 times, including
current lifttruck technology and specific
training topics.

34

Background (continued)
OSHA published

a proposed ruling on March 14,


1995 for General Industry, Shipyard, Marine
Terminals, and Longshoring regulations, adding
specific training requirements.
On January 30, 1996, OSHA proposed a revision
of the construction standards, mandating the
development of an operator training program
based on the prior knowledge and skills of the
trainee and requiring a periodic evaluation.
35

Final Rule
OSHA published

the final rule for Powered


Industrial Truck Operator Training on
December 1, 1998.
The effective date is March 1, 1999. Start-up
dates are included in paragraph (l)(7).
It applies to all industries except agricultural
operations.
OSHA estimates that the new rule will prevent
11 deaths and 9,422 injuries per year.

Performance-Oriented
Requirements
The

powered industrial truck operator


training requirements are performanceoriented to permit employers to tailor a
training program to the characteristics of
their workplaces and the particular types
of powered industrial trucks operated.

38

Revised Operator Training


Requirements
General

Industry: 1910.178 is amended by revising


paragraph (l) and adding Appendix A.
Shipyard Employment: New section 1915.120 and
Appendix A are added.
Marine Terminals: Section 1917.1 is amended by
adding new paragraph (a)(2)(xiv) and Appendix A.
Longshoring: Section 1918.1 is amended by adding
new paragraph (b)(10) and Appendix A.
Construction: 1926.602 is amended by adding new
paragraph (d) and Appendix A.
39

Operator Training
Safe

operations

The employer shall ensure that each powered industrial


truck operator is competent to operate a powered
industrial truck safely, as demonstrated by successful
completion of the training and evaluation specified in the
OSHA standard.
Prior to permitting an employee to operate a powered
industrial truck (except for training purposes), the
employer shall ensure that each operator has successfully
completed the required training (or previously received
appropriate training).
40

Training Program
Implementation
Trainees

may operate a powered industrial


truck only:
Under direct supervision of a person who
has the knowledge, training, and
experience to train operators and evaluate
their competence; and,
Where such operation does not endanger
the trainee or other employees.
41

Training Program Implementation


(continued)

Training shall consist of a combination of:


Formal instruction (e.g., lecture, discussion,

interactive computer learning, written material),


Practical training (demonstrations and exercises
performed by the trainee), and
Evaluation of the operators performance in the
workplace

42

Training Program

and
evaluation shall be
conducted by a person
with the knowledge,
training and
experience to train
powered industrial
truck operators and
evaluate their
competence.

49

Avoidance of Duplicative
Training
If

an operator has previously received


training in a topic specified in this section,
and the training is appropriate to the truck
and working conditions encountered,
additional training in that topic is not
required if the operator has been evaluated
and found competent to operate the truck
safely.

employer shall ensure that operators of


powered industrial trucks are trained, as
appropriate, by the dates shown in the following
table.
If the employee was
hired:

Before December 1,
1999
After December 1, 1999

The initial training


and evaluation of
that employee must
be completed:
By December 1, 1999
Before the employee is
assigned to operate a
powered industrial truck.

Notes:
1. When the vehicle is loaded, the combined center of gravity (CG) shifts toward line B-C.
Theoretically the maximum load will result in the CG at the line B-C. In actual practice, the
combined CG should never be at line B-C.
2. The addition of additional counterweight will cause the truck CG to shift toward point A and
55
result in a truck that is less stable laterally.

Effective Powered Industrial


Truck Operator Training Program
Four

major areas of concern must be


addressed:
The general hazards that apply to the operation of
all or most powered industrial trucks;
The hazards associated with the operation of
particular types of trucks;
The hazards of workplaces generally; and,
The hazards of the particular workplace where the
vehicle operates.
57

Types of Powered Industrial


Trucks
There are many different types of powered industrial
trucks covered by the OSHA standard.
Commonly used types include:

High lift trucks, counterbalanced trucks, cantilever trucks, rider


trucks, forklift trucks, high lift trucks, high lift platform trucks,
low lift trucks, motorized hand trucks, pallet trucks, straddle
trucks, reach rider trucks, high lift order picker trucks, motorized
hand/rider trucks, and counterbalanced front/side loader lift
trucks.
A single

type of truck can only be described by calling


it by all of its characteristics, (e.g., a high lift,
counterbalanced, sit down rider truck).
58

Unique Characteristics of
Powered Industrial Trucks
Each

type of powered industrial truck has


its own unique characteristics and some
inherent hazards.
To be effective, training must address the
unique characteristics of the type of
vehicle the employee is being trained to
operate.
