Refresher Safety Training (858) 679-8688

Refresher Training is required when new equipment is introduced in the workplace.

Keep all parts of your body within the confines of the operators compartment
What is wrong here?
Immediate corrective action should be taken. The refresher training venue reinforces standard operating procedures. Refresher training eliminates bad habits and promotes safety in the workplace. Stepping out of the operator compartment before completely stopping is dangerous and prohibited because it is a major cause of ankle, foot, and leg injuries to forklift operators!

When is refresher training required by California and federal regulations?

CA-8 CCR 3668(d); Fed-29 CFR 1910.1798 (l)(4)(i) Refresher training and evaluation. . . .

   (1) Refresher training in relevant topics shall be provided to the operator when:

   (A) The operator has been observed to operate the vehicle in an unsafe manner;

   (B) The operator has been involved in an accident or near-miss incident;

   (C) The operator has received an evaluation that reveals that the operator is not operating the truck safely;

   (D) The operator is assigned to drive a different type of truck; or

   (E) A condition in the workplace changes in a manner that could affect safe operation of the truck.

Refresher Operator Safety Training

     Forklift operator performance and competence must be evaluated at least every three years according to the revised state and federal regulations.

     In addition, other significant factors will require refresher training sooner. Some of these factors include:
     When accidents or near misses have occurred,
     When new equipment is introduced into the workplace,
     When Changes in conditions or applications in the workplace have taken place,
     When observations of an operator and his/her job performance would warrant immediate corrective action, then "refresher" training would be required.

We have available a very cost effective, time efficient, comprehensive refresher training course.

      Industry analysts maintain that effective training can improve operator safety performance by 70%-80%. This applies to both initial and refresher forklift operator safety training. "Knowledge is power!"
