• On December 1st, 1998 the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) adopted a new and stringent Powered
Industrial Truck Operator Training rule 29 CFR 1910.178(1). Based on the Industrial Truck Standards Development Foundation
(ITSDF) B56 current standard, Operator Training is now explained in detail. The employer shall ensure that operators of powered
industrial trucks are competent and trained in the safe and proper operation of powered industrial trucks. This training will
include formal training, practical demonstrations and an on-site evaluation.
OSHA also requires a proper pre-shift inspection, and any repair required shall be performed by a person trained and authorized to repair lift trucks.
As the employer you should be familiar with the rules of 29 CFR 1910.178(1) as well as ANSI/ITSDF B56.1 for the user. You should also be aware of
any state OSHA rules that may differ from the federal rules.
