Electric Pallet Jacks: Safe Operation Overview

Electric pallet jacks are widely used to lift palletized goods a few inches off the ground to transport them to another location. Although their function is simple, there are many potential hazards to be aware of during operation. That’s why it’s vital that all operators are trained in proper electric pallet jack safety and operating practices.

This online pallet jack training course is designed to meet the requirements outlined by OSHA's Powered Industrial Trucks Standards (1910.178 (l)). By adhering to these standards, operators are instructed in the best electric pallet jack safety practices. This helps reduce the risk of incidents while on the job, keeping operators and surrounding personnel safe.

Course Duration: This online pallet jack training will take roughly 30 minutes to complete.
