What type of training in addition to reading the manufacturer safety booklet is required by OSHA?
OSHA doesn’t indicate specific training for lift tables. However, they do require the employer to assess the risks associated with the use of such equipment and train based on the risks. And there are some general requirements, such as for understanding warning labels and lift capacities, personal protective equipment (PPE), and injury and illness reporting that would be necessary.
Here are topics to consider for training ahead of using this type of lift tables:
- 1910.132(f) — Training for when PPE would be necessary and how to use PPE properly.
- 1910.136 — Foot protection as necessary since it’s a rolling device.
- 1910.138 — Hand protection as there are mechanisms creating potential pinch points during maintenance especially.
- 1910.176 — Materials handling and storage for stacking, securing, and maneuvering loads.
- 1910.212(a)(1) — Guarding, labeling, or other means of protection from nip and pinch points.
