It is not only important to provide quality forklift safety training, it is required by OSHA. There are many ways to provide this training. You can train through videos, DVD's or showing and explaining these procedures yourself. The videos and DVD's are very effective. They generally provide a well written script. They will keep your workers' attention as well as providing quality information. The videos must contain a bit of filler to provide the ability of your workers to pay attention to them. Sometimes it is through humor as well as through story telling and examples. The videos are generally the most basic and easiest ways to train your workers.
The other option is to show them how to be safe yourself. This is an effective way as well. It is usually better to show the videos because they are approved by OSHA. You must have someone that is OSHA trained in order to show your employees how to be safe around the equipment that they use.
In short the workplace videos are usually the best way to go when training your workers. They are pre-approved. They also keep employees attention. The videos will be a wonderful addition to your workplace.
