Key Features

Available in English and Spanish CD-ROM versions.

The "Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Safety" Interactive CD-ROM Training Course has been specifically created to involve employees in the process of understanding forklift operation and to help facilities in fulfilling the OSHA Powered Industrial Truck Standard (29 CFR,1910.178) training requirements.

Forklifts have become indispensable in many of the jobs employees do. They are rugged, powerful tools that save time, money and effort. But the same qualities that make forklifts so helpful can also make them dangerous. When used incorrectly, or if they are not properly maintained, forklifts can inflict injury and costly damage.

Areas covered in the Course include OSHA's certification process, the seven classes of industrial trucks, equipment checkout, a forklift's "stability triangle", safe operating procedures, lifting and lowering loads, trucks and loading docks, equipment maintenance, and more. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this Course from The Interactive CD-ROM Training Library™ provides the most cost-effective Safety and Regulatory Compliance training available today. The Course features platform software which installs automatically, and comprehensive User's and Trainer's Guides. The Course is about 45 minutes long (depending on the employee), and is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood... and retained.

Also designed with the Training Manager in mind, all Courses in The Interactive CD-ROM Training Library™ include a Training Management System (at no additional cost). Using this System, trainers can set up "Pre" and "Post" tests... establish log-in procedures... even define and set up curriculum for various job classes. The System also collects and organizes employee performance information through a powerful relational database, which can generate a number of record-keeping and tracking reports... and has a database "import/export" feature, which allows information to be transferred to and from an external database (such as a company's Personnel Database and/or Learning Management System). The Course is one of over 80 titles currently available in The Interactive CD-ROM Training Library™. Other Interactive Courses on Safety and Regulatory Compliance topics are currently being developed, including Spanish-language Courses, and will be available soon.

The objective of the "Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Safety" Interactive CD-ROM Training Course is to review how to check out forklift equipment prior to operation, proper operating techniques, and how to recognize potential problem situations.
