COACHING THE LIFT TRUCK OPERATOR 2
Operators familiar with the mechanics of operating a lift truck are ready for the next step in training with this course. Utilizing the highly acclaimed "Coaching" method of non-lecture teaching, this information-packed classroom course encourages participants to observe, analyze and discuss recommended safety practices. Based on requests from safety directors, the course also includes a video presentation for in-plant personnel (pedestrians) who do not drive lift trucks, but do work in areas where lift trucks are operated. Offers instructors the tools necessary to meet OSHA's new requirements for formal instruction, practical training and evaluation. Each component of the course relates directly to the other components, forming a comprehensive, integrated system of training. The program's format allows for flexibility in presentation and local job site customization to cover specific company policies. This new revised and updated version is based on valuable input from participants, instructors, and industry professionals.
