Fork Truck Training and Safety Requirements
UNE operates fork trucks in several departments across campus. Any employee who operates a fork truck must be trained and licensed through the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) department.
Key requirements include:
- Fork truck training and licensing are required before operating any equipment.
- UNE EHS contracts this training through an approved external vendor.
- Operators must be trained and certified every three years.
- The training covers maintenance, inspection, and safe operation of powered industrial trucks.
- To receive a license, employees must successfully complete both a written test and a driving test.
