Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004C 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 provide adequate training to employees on the proper methods of operating a powered industrial truck prior to releasing them to operate independently. This was most recently evident during the inspection of the facility located at 4444 S. 76th Circle, Omaha, NE 68127, where the employer has inadequately trained employees using various forklifts and pallet jacks to move product and ingredients throughout the facility.
