Summary

Exam

Employers are responsible for ensuring that employees are properly trained to handle the responsibilities associated with the operation and maintenance of industrial equipment. Preventative training helps an employee understand how to stop an incident from occurring, such as knowing how to properly use specific equipment and the safety controls installed within that equipment.

Employers should provide refresher training whenever an operator demonstrates a deficiency in the safe operation of the truck. Refresher training should also include practical training and include an evaluation of the operator’s performance in the workplace.

This online course satisfies the training requirements for the Cal/OSHA Title 8 CCR, Section 3650 and 3664 Industrial Equipment, Lift Trucks and Tractors Training for General Industry.
