Who must post the California Forklift/Industrial Truck Safety Poster?
California General Industry Safety Order (GISO), 8 C.C.R. § 3664, requires all employers using forklifts or industrial trucks to post and enforce operating rules including the appropriate rules listed in GISO Section 3650(t). The operating rules must be conspicuously posted at a location frequented by employees.
How can the California Forklift/Industrial Truck Safety Poster be used to increase worker safety?
In addition to meeting the GISO posting requirements, the California Bilingual Forklift/Industrial Truck Safety poster can serve as a valuable training tool in the classroom and at the job site. Continuous posting at the job site also serves as an operational reference tool to ensure that employees are stay informed of industrial truck safe operating rules. The poster’s bilingual format ensures that Spanish-speaking employees also have access to these valuable guidelines.
