Description
This course discusses the general safety hazards, recommended controls, and suggested best practices associated with the operation of power industrial trucks (forklifts, car movers, etc.) in industrial environments. Topics covered include different truck designs, capabilities, and uses, the importance of operator training and monitoring, issues with truck movement and facility design, interactions between trucks and pedestrians, and inspection and maintenance.This is a standalone course taken from Industrial Safety Processes, which contains 21 topic lectures with over 16 hours of instructional videos (confined space, working at heights, nanotechnology, safety by design, PPE, process safety management, etc.). The course Industrial Safety Processes has been consistently rated as among the best course they have ever taken in the field of occupational health and safety, often commenting that the course "puts it all together" for them.Industrial Safety Processes covers 21 topics relevant to occupational health and safety practice in industrial environments. Topics include safety by design, woodworking, welding, heavy vehicles, confined spaces, working at heights and other key activities. Industrial Safety Processes is designed to provide solid background information for both new and experienced OHS professionals. It is modeled after reference material required for various North American OHS certifications: CRSP, CRST, and CST. While is it is not an exam prep course, Industrial Safety Processes is usually taken by students to increase their chance of being successful in those examinations. It is also commonly taken by new OHS professionals or non-OHS personnel to become rapidly familiar with best practices in managing health and safety issues relating to industrial and construction activities.
