Forklift Safety Training – Masma Safety Selangor
A forklift is a powerful tool designed to lift and move heavy loads efficiently, reducing the risk of back injuries associated with manual lifting. However, operating a forklift without proper training can pose serious risks of injury or even death.
Common causes of forklift accidents include:
-Lack of understanding of the physics behind forklift operation
-Unfamiliarity with specific forklift models
-Careless operation
-Use of faulty or malfunctioning equipment
The three most common types of forklift-related fatalities are:
-Forklift overturns (a prevalent issue in Malaysia)
-Workers being struck by forklifts
-People being crushed by forklifts
It’s essential for forklift operators to undergo comprehensive safety training programs. Legislation mandates that employers ensure operators are competent and document their training and performance evaluations regularly.
Forklift Safety Training typically consists of three parts:
-Formal instruction, including lectures, discussions, and interactive learning materials
-Practical training with hands-on demonstrations and exercises
-Regular evaluations of operator performance, conducted at least once every three years
-Key topics covered in forklift safety training programs include:
Introduction to forklift safety
