Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) Safety (OSHA)
Powered industrial trucks (e.g., forklifts and lift trucks) found in nearly every US warehouse and job site, move heavy material quickly and efficiently when they're in trained hands. Used carelessly, they're also behind some of the most serious workplace incidents, including tip-overs, falling loads, and struck-by or pinning injuries. Proper training is what separates safe, productive operation from a preventable tragedy. In this course, learners will cover the main types of powered industrial trucks, operator training and certification requirements, pre-shift inspections, stability principles, safe operating practices, and how to recognize and control common workplace hazards.
What You'll Learn
- Types of Powered Industrial Trucks and Their Applications
- Operator Training, Evaluation, and Certification
- Applicable OSHA and ANSI Standards
- Truck Anatomy and Pre-Shift Inspections
- Stability and the Stability Triangle

- Common Hazards and Their Controls
About This Course
Powered industrial trucks, the equipment most people simply call forklifts or lift trucks, handle some of the heaviest work in any facility in the US. They're also involved in some of the most serious workplace incidents, from tip-overs and falling loads to workers being struck or pinned, and nearly all of those incidents are preventable when the operator understands the machine and follows safe practices. This course covers the equipment types, training and certification requirements, pre-shift inspections, stability, and the safe operating practices you need to run a truck safely.
By the end of this course, learners should be able to:
• Identify the major types of powered industrial trucks
• Describe the training, evaluation, and certification an operator needs
• Name the standards that apply to powered industrial trucks
• Identify the key components of a truck and inspect them before a shift
• Explain how stability works and what causes a tip-over
• List safe operating practices for traveling, loading, and parking, and
• Recognize common hazards and the controls that prevent them

If you get to a certain point and don’t fully understand the material, you can pause and go back for a review. On the other hand, if everything makes perfect sense, you can go straight through the entire course right to the test.
How does virtual proctoring/testing with webcam monitoring work?
When you start your test, you will be monitored via your webcam. If you disappear from the screen or appear to be consulting another device or other material, you will be disqualified from the course.
