Kindly be advised that the BTEA and MCAP will be hosting a classroom forklift training in conjunction with Contractor’s Risk Management (CRM).
This course is designed to empower the participant with the skills and knowledge to safely and productively operate rough terrain forklifts (within the scope of the construction industry). The “forklifts” used in this training include telehandlers/extended-reach and rough-terrain/straight-mast forklifts.
This training will consist of only the classroom portion of the forklift training. Each attendee should also complete a hands on portion using the type of forklift specific to their needs. The repetition of these learned skills will enable the participant to recognize potentially dangerous conditions and avoid accidents. CRM is happy to work with companies that attend this training to complete the hands on exercises as well. Please contact John Ferrante at jferrante@btea.com to schedule the second portion of training.

Two Spots Remaining – Register NOW!
Join Eric Stalmon, VP of Safety and Training for the Marr Companies for classroom and hands-on training which satisfies the new ANSI A92.22 lift standards for operators and supervisors.
The new ANSI Standards are effective March 1, 2020 are you ready?
ANSI standards released in late 2018 which were originally to become effective on December 10, 2019 will now be delayed until March 1, 2020.
The changes include renaming Aerial Work Platforms (AWPs) to Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs). Rather than being classified by the equipment type, machines are now broken up by Groups, then sub-divided into Types.
In addition, the new standards place greater responsibility on the equipment user regardless of whether they are a large maintenance operation or a small business that rents a scissor lift, boom lift, etc.
ANSI Standard A92.22 requires all MEWP users to develop a risk assessment and site safety plan, which must be shared with everyone on the work site. ANSI Standard A92.94 now requires training for occupants and supervisors of aerial equipment.
The requirements do not have the force of law as enforced by OSHA, but do present a liability issue for contractors who choose not to follow the most up to date safety standards.
