Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 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 ensure that all employees operating powered industrial trucks at the facility have received adequate training as outlined in this paragraph of the standard. The most recent occurrence of this was evident in the inspection conducted on November 7th 2018 at 4700 S. Lincoln Ave., York, Nebraska. Some employees have not been provided the "hands-on" portion of the training prior to being allowed to operate powered industrial trucks in the facility. By accomplishing this training, employees would be able to understand the hazards of operating these vehicles.
