This online Manual Pallet Jack Safety course discusses the hazards that can be associated with pallet jacks and the safe work practices and “rules of the road” that employees should follow to avoid them.

But as with all material handling equipment, when a pallet jack is misused it can create serious workplace hazards, cause severe injuries and even result in fatalities.

This online Manual Pallet Jack Safety covers the following topics:

• How pallet jacks work
• Potential hazards
• Using a pallet jack safely
• Moving a load with a pallet jack
• Safe operation on loading docks, inclines and lift gates
• And more
