As our Material Handling Equipment team talks with fleet managers and operations managers about what concerns them most, one topic that comes up consistently is safe operation of forklifts. That’s why I decided to write about it in my latest article for Fleet Management Weekly, “Forklift Operator Safety 101.”

If you use forklifts in your company, you know that many of the problems arise from lack of proper operator training. OSHA regulations stipulate what that training should consist of – and I encourage you to read the article to find out more.
