Lift trucks are accountable for numerous industrial accidents, either as the primary or the secondary source of the accident. Reports of fatalities or injuries which involve pedestrians or operators are all very commonplace.

Employers should develop and apply a training program for operators based on four factors: the types of vehicles being utilized in the workplace, the general principles of safe truck operation, the particular hazards of the workplace and the general safety requirements, according to OSHA. Training includes both practical and formal components. At the training's completion, operators need to pass an assessment showing they have the ability to correctly operate a truck. OSHA also requires that operators of powered industrial trucks must be trained in certain specific subject matters which apply to safe lift truck operation.
