Telematics, VR and other technologies contribute to security and training, but do not reduce the need for best practices, such as hands-on training, documented training, clear procedures and continuous improvement. Like technology, telematics and virtual reality (VR) can help enterprises improve the training of forklift operators, but technology itself is not a comprehensive method to train, involving similar components to replace manual and equipment to be used.
According to Tony Parsons, enterprise operation training manager of Wisconsin lift truck, Wolter's dealer organization: "A written safety plan is important because it lists who is responsible for the training and safety process. One of the most common problems is the failure to remove unsafe forklifts from operation. Trained operators know not to use unsafe forklifts, but if they find a forklift in an unsafe state, they may not know what to do. Do they take the key to their supervisor or take it to repair? Written procedures These procedures can be clearly understood by all relevant personnel. "
Parsons added: "In terms of management, it is important to keep detailed records. You should record details, such as who is in class, when, who is the teacher, and whether students have passed. A fairly common trap is the failure to train operators on every kind of equipment they may use. Operators may spend most of their time on forward forklifts, but if they still need to operate pallet trucks occasionally, they should receive relevant training Training of the equipment.
Companies with a strong training culture also exceed the minimum compliance level and establish operator training and guidance processes to promote safe and effective workflow in the actual DC environment.
