Any employee who operates a department powered industrial truck must first receive operator safety training and an evaluation of their operating skills. Training must be repeated at least every three years. Please contact EHS if your department intends to purchase or rent a new powered industrial truck, as additional training may be needed. A powered industrial truck is defined by OSHA as any mobile power-propelled truck used to carry, push, pull, lift, stack or tier materials. Examples include forklifts, pallet jacks, low lift jacks.
