    Speaker Notes:

    eTools are OSHA's Web-based training tools on occupational safety and health topics.

    The Powered Industrial Trucks eTool, developed and updated in cooperation with the Industrial Truck Association (ITA) and other Alliance Program participants, focuses primarily on forklifts commonly used in general industry.

    ITA provided indispensible industry expertise during the development of this eTool. ITA provided comprehensive comments on the text and also supplied many of the pictures featured throughout the eTool. Several other Alliance Program participants also provided feedback on the eTool, including the Association of Equipment Manufacturers and the American Forest & Paper Association and Pulp and Paper Safety Association.

    The eTool includes the following four modules:
    • Types and Fundamentals: overview of the various types of forklifts and forklift fundamentals (including basic forklift parts).
    • Operating the Forklift: basic operating rules and safe work practices for operating forklifts.
    • Workplace: reviews how workplace conditions may impact safe forklift operation.
    • Training: summary of operator training required by the OSHA standard.

    OSHA's powered industrial truck standard is one of the most frequently cited standards in OSHA inspections and is one of the most asked about topics in calls to OSHA's 800 number and inquiries to OSHA's e-correspondence system. The Powered Industrial Truck eTool helps employers comply with the OSHA standard and train workers on how to safely operate forklifts and other powered industrial trucks.
