Forklift - Powered Industrial Truck Safety Program
It is the policy of the San Bernardino Community College District (SBCCD) that all employees operating a Powered Industrial Truck (PIT) will be qualified and knowledgeable of safe operating procedures in furtherance of protecting the safety and health of those on campus.
SBCCD has determined that certain employees may operate PITs, inducing potential exposure to the associated hazards during routine operations. These hazards include tipping over the PIT, pedestrian traffic, blind spots, poor truck maintenance, narrow aisles, and other hazardous conditions. The purpose of this program is to ensure that all SBCCD PIT operators are adequately trained and qualified to operate a PIT to ensure a safe campus for employees and students. SBCCD will maintain compliance with the Cal/OSHA standard for PITs.
