Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.178(l)(2)(ii): The employer did not ensure that each operator had successfully completed the training consisting of a combination of formal instruction (e.g., lecture, discussion, interactive computer learning, video tape, written material), practical training (demonstrations performed by the trainer and practical exercises performed by the trainee), and evaluation of the operator's performance in the workplace. The employer is failing to protect employees from struck by hazards from forklifts. This was most recently documented on or about January 10, 2019 when the employer did not provide forklift and electric pallet jack operators with forklift training consisting of formal instruction, and practical training and evaluation. At least one forklift operator, and one pallet jack operator had not had training including a written and practical evaluation of the forklift and pallet jack operator's operation of their equipment.
