HUBTEX Train-the-Trainer Materials
Everything an in-house instructor needs to train, evaluate, and authorize HUBTEX lift operators
Train-the-Trainer prepares experienced operators and safety managers to become in-house instructors. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 requires that every operator of a powered industrial truck be trained, evaluated, and authorized by their employer, and these lift-specific materials give your trainer the tools to do that across the complete line of HUBTEX lift trucks.
"All operator training and evaluation shall be conducted by persons who have the knowledge, training, and experience to train powered industrial truck operators and evaluate their competence."
