For many freight carriers, loads must be secured to prevent shipping damage. Proper securing is especially important for uneven and bulky loads that are placed in semi-trucks. Unsecured loads can cause the truck to be imbalanced, which could potentially cause an incident while the truck is moving or being unloaded. This course will provide an overview of banding safety, and the practices a material handler will need to remain safe when banding and un-banding loads.

An order picker is a forklift with an operator platform that raises with the forks. This allows operators to pick, or retrieve, individual items instead of entire pallets stored on high shelves. Order pickers are specially designed to operate in narrow aisles, where there is often only a few inches of clearance on either side. There are several obvious hazards associated with working at heights in narrow aisles, including falls, tip-overs, and falling objects. This course discusses how to safely operate order pickers.

A turret truck, also known as a swing-reach truck, is a forklift with forks that can pivot 180 degrees and traverse across its entire width. This allows pallets to be stored and picked up at right angles to the turret truck. Also, unlike a standard forklift, the operator compartment raises with the forks. Turret trucks are specially designed to operate in narrow aisles, where there is very little clearance on either side. Because of these unique design features and operating conditions it is important to become familiar with their operation and safety guidelines prior to operating a turret truck. This module covers common hazards, turret truck safety equipment, and safe operating procedures.

A mechanical power press (MPP) is a machine that uses dies and pressure to shear, punch, form, and assemble metal or other material. They can develop up to several thousand tons of pressure, and the area where they perform work – the “point of operation” – poses a serious pinch point hazard. They also contain rotating component and in-running nip point hazards. The primary and secondary safeguards that are used on MPPs depend on several things. All safeguards must be inspected and tested on a regular basis to make sure that they function correctly and meet all current safety standards.

A pallet jack is a relatively simple device that allows a person to pick up and move a palletized load which can weigh several times that of the operator. A typical manual pallet jack consists of a small frame that supports two low forks that are designed to fit under a pallet. A handle, or tiller, connected to the frame provides a method to push or pull the jack, to steer it, and a way to hydraulically elevate the forks. This course will focus on the principles of operation and instructions for safe use of the manual type of pallet jack.
