The Right Safety Matters, Here is Why..

Making sure that your team has the proper training for certain equipment is essential . and at Klochko we can offer Forklift and Aerial training,

Why does safety training matter?

• The safety of your customers and team should be top priority, and if your team is not trained properly, they risk injuring themselves and put others at risk.
• Improper operation can lead to equipment or property damage which can cost $$$ in the long run, something that can be avoided when making good decisions.
• Osha can find you up to $13,000 if you/your team are not properly certified by their standards. Training pays off when it comes to avoiding violations and fines.

MEWP & OSHA Aerial Lift and Work Platform Safety Training programs by Klochko Equipment

New federal regulations by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) now require all forklift operators attend, and pass, an approved equipment training program. These regulations also require proof of equipment training for forklifts, aerial lifts and some earth moving equipment.

These regulations have even renamed the aerial category, now calling the category: Mobile Elevating Work Platform or MEWP for short. 

The new category of MEWPs now defines equipment you now know as manlifts, cherry pickers, access platforms, scissor lifts, aerial platforms, etc. as part of the Mobile Elevating Work Platform category.
