The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has updated its Truck-Mounted Forklift Safety Manual to provide machine operators, maintenance personnel, and others on the job with up-to-date industry safety and maintenance information.
The AEM Truck-Mounted Forklift Safety Manual outlines some of the basic safety situations that may be encountered during normal operation and maintenance of the machine and suggests possible ways of dealing with these conditions. The manual is not a substitute for the manufacturer’s operating manual(s).
The 48-page manual was developed with the help of AEM member manufacturers, including members of the association’s Truck-Mounted Forklift Committee. It uses an updated layout with the latest AEM pictorials for easier comprehension.
Significant content changes include:
AEM’s safety and training materials cover more than 40 types of equipment used in agricultural, construction, forestry and utility applications. The association initiated its safety-tools program more than 40 years ago to provide job-proven and time-tested suggestions that promote safety-conscious attitudes and performance. In addition to accident prevention, benefits include improved worker productivity and less equipment downtime for repairs.
The AEM Truck-Mounted Forklift Safety Manual, as well as the association’s other safety manuals, videos and related educational materials, is available online through the AEM Store at http://shop.aem.org. Some safety materials are offered in downloadable files or in DVD format. AEM members receive discounts on select materials.
Lift & Access is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
