General Industry Forklift Operator Training System

Forklift accidents are among the most common — and most preventable — causes of injury, death, and property damage in general industry workplaces. OSHA requires that every powered industrial truck operator be trained on the specific equipment and hazards they'll encounter on the job before they're ever authorized to drive. Mancomm's Forklift Training System (FTS) gives you everything you need to deliver that training in-house, customized to your own site, equipment, and hazards.

What's Included

• Training USB — Covers training and basic principles, operation, loading, and pre-operation inspection and refueling/recharging, with real-world video and computer-generated examples.
• On-Site Trainer's Instruction Manual (48 pages) — Mirrors the operator learning guide chapter-for-chapter, with full-color images, margin citations to the relevant 29 CFR 1910 OSHA standards, answer keys, and site-specific appendices covering training program guidelines, maneuvering practice drills and a training log, an operator driving evaluation guide, and converting/upgrading forklifts and environmental hazards.
• 10 On-Site Operator Trainee Learning Guides (32 pages each) — Full-color chapter guides with review questions covering Training and Basic Principles, Operation, Loading, and Pre-Operation Inspection and Refueling/Recharging.
• Training completion certificates and operator wallet cards for every trainee.

Additional Trainee Learning Guides are available separately after purchasing the FTS.

Why It Works

The FTS is built around the same four core competencies OSHA expects every forklift operator to master: understanding truck classifications and stability principles, safe operating procedures, proper loading and load-handling technique, and pre-operation inspection and fueling/battery safety. Each chapter pairs video instruction with a workbook chapter, real-world scenarios, practice drills, and review questions, so trainees don't just watch — they demonstrate understanding before they get behind the wheel.

Because the trainer's manual is cross-referenced to the exact OSHA 1910.178 citations behind each rule, trainers can back up every requirement with the regulation itself — and adapt the program to the trucks, layout, and hazards specific to your facility, exactly as OSHA's site-specific training mandate requires.
