DVD Based Training Kit presents Forklift Driver Safety Training in Workshop Format
Forklift Operator Safety Training -- new DVD based workshop style presentation format improves retention of training with activity based feedback and question answer sessions.

AUSTIN, TX, April 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Workplace Safety Store, a leading retailer of workplace safety and regulatory compliance training products, has released an innovative workshop-style Forklift Safety Training Kit (http://safety.1800inet.com/forklift-workshop-dvd-training). The training program has been created specifically to help reduce avoidable work related forklift driver injuries.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, tens of thousands of injuries and more than a hundred forklift (powered industrial truck) related workplace fatalities occur each year. The majority of these injuries and fatalities can be attributed to a lack of safe operating procedures and insufficient or inadequate training.

"The program is designed to meet the training needs of forklift operators with all levels of experience," said Robin Watson, a product specialist at The Workplace Safety Store. "In the workshop format, trainees demonstrate what they have learned after watching video driven presentations. This allows the instructor to identify and address problem areas in a safe and controlled environment."

In addition to the videos and the training exercises, the workshop presentation format of the program features interactive question and answer sessions that allow trainees to demonstrate what they've learned. The instructor, therefore, has an opportunity to identify and address problems, in the relative safety of the training environment, before they develop into unsafe work practices.

Firms with in-house training programs can use the Forklift Workshop - DVD Training Kit to satisfy the requirements of OSHA's 9 CFR Section 1910.178(l) standard for forklift operation and training.

The product can help facilities save on training costs. Additionally, it can help reduce direct losses resulting from accidents, injuries, and damage to warehouse/merchandise, and reduce indirect costs, including insurance premiums and fines. Forms for fully auditable training records are included.
