Does Your Company Need Safety Training?

A recent study from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shown the need to target safety training for younger workers. Inexperience and poor judgment skills place younger workers at risk for injury in the warehouse and the shop floor. If your training budget is limited, target the younger worker and then pair them up with more experienced workers.

We can expect someone to die in a forklift mishap within the next six months in Colorado. Make sure your operators are not "the one"! Be sure to see our information on forklift operator training.
