With the
ongoing development of the equipment Operator Reference Manuals (ORMs)
and the Digital Training Aids (DTAs) designed to accompany them, the
need for Spanish language has emerged.
With the ever-increasing amount of text in many of the DTA frames, including titles, labels, wording on decals and generally overall, we feel that by adding this language option to our DTA inventory it provides a route to better understanding and clarity for Spanish speaking trainees.
At the moment, Spanish language DTAs are available for all of our forklifts, MEWP Skid-Steer Loaders, Wheel (Front-End) Loader and Loader Backhoe!
The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration (TOSHA) has issued two “serious” citations that include $8,000 in total fines to a Rogersville facility after a fatal incident on Jan. 27.
HDK Industries Inc., located at 100 Industrial Park Drive, received the following citations, TOSHA announced:
Citation One – $4,000
Citation Two – $4,000
The citations come after the January incident that hospitalized a 66-year-old female employee. She died due to her injuries nine days later, TOSHA reports.
According to the report by TOSHA, the employee was hit by a forklift after she stepped out into an aisle from a blind corner. After she was struck, the victim fell to the concrete floor and hit her head.
Another worker nearby saw the victim and forklift approaching one another at the corner and shouted in an attempt to warn her; however, TOSHA reported it was too late and the woman was hit by the forklift.
The woman was conscious and had no visible injuries immediately after the incident, but others nearby had seen her head strike the floor multiple times and called emergency medical services. While awaiting medical personnel, other workers noticed the victim’s awareness was declining.
She was transported to a nearby hospital where she ultimately passed away nine days later.
The operator of the forklift told TOSHA that he had used the horn roughly 15 feet from the intersection where the incident occurred, but the report notes he told his employer immediately after the incident that it may have been as much as 30 feet away.
TOSHA noted large 4-foot tall and 4-foot wide plastic bins were stacked two-high at the corner of the intersection where the fatal accident occurred.
Scott Keeler, vice president of sales and marketing and former general manager of HDK, previously told News Channel 11 that the victim had worked for the company for 30 years.

Question: We have an employee who had an incident today and we are scheduling him for re-training.
How to we record this retraining?
Do we use his existing operator number or issue a new operator number for this retraining?
Answer: What you are asking is what OSHA calls “Refresher Training”.
That is great that you and your company are handling this properly.
Following an incident an operator must undergo some sort of theory training based on the incident and then a practical evaluation must be conducted.
Everything documentation-wise goes in their file and the operator keeps the same operator number.
You can find this as well as the specific reference, if you need it, in your trainer’s manual under regulations.
It will be in the “operator training section L”.
