 Forklift Training
Hoj Engineering's Seminar Division was created in 1990 to comply with the federal forklift operator certification requirement and has since been expanded to include other areas of safety training. Hoj's instructors are certified in each of the seminars we lead.
When OSHA implemented the new Forklift Training Standard on December 1st, 1998 (1910.178), they included an outline or curriculum that must (shall) be followed in certification seminars. In addition, they require that certification seminars be site specific and forklift specific.
- Forklift geometry. Speed and Mass. Guards and safety equipment. Physics of lifting and degradation formulas.
- Installation of attachments for forklifts. Load handling. Forklift classification and design.
- Safety equipment. Dock safety. Driving environment. Fuel and explosion ratings. OSHA and ANSI Standards.
