The L.I.F.T. Training Mission aims to provide quality safety training to reduce workplace accidents and fatalities. The document notes that over 4,690 workers died on the job in 2010, with 70% of deaths potentially preventable by proper safety training. Forklift accidents in particular result in millions of dollars in costs and several deaths every 3 days on average. The L.I.F.T. Training program features comprehensive training programs on various equipment to help employers comply with OSHA standards and reduce workplace hazards and accidents through proper operator training. The presentation outlines the benefits of partnering with L.I.F.T. Training for customized, effective safety programs.

17. PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
Note: For each experienced operator, proper training requires at least ½ hour of evaluation
time for each individual type/class of equipment. For inexperienced operators, proper
training will require one to two hours of practical training on each specific class/type of
equipment.
Step 1: Research and document your current compliance status
Step 2: Determine if cross training will be required to maximize workforce productivity and
flexibility
Step 3: Determine total number of workers to be trained and in what capacity, therein
Step 4: Determine site for completing training project
Step 5: Determine dates and times that will minimize production and overtime costs
Step 6: Communicate training dates to supervisors and leads at least two weeks prior
Step 7: Reserve training areas, equipment and classrooms to conduct training at least 1 week
prior to first class date
Step 8: Start training program
Note: OSHA requires training be completed BEFORE employees operate the equipment.
This means that employees operating equipment without training are operating illegally.
