Does a Front End Loader with Fork attachment require a Hoisting License? Yes! The operator of a Front End Loader is required to hold a 2C restriction, at minimum. BUT…if the Bucket is removed and replaced with a Fork attachment, the operator of this modified machinery is required to hold a 1C restriction. A 1C restriction is required to operate equipment with hydraulic telescoping booms without wire ropes and Fork Lifts.
And Good News: Pallet Jacks do NOT require a license!

Lets talk GHS the new OSHA Global Harmonization System, or is it? A few questions you should be asking are as follows:
Where did this come from?
Why are the category numbers in reverse of the NFPA Fire diamond?
What really did change on the SDS safety data sheet besides the M?
What other employees are greatly affected by these changes?
Did any other regulations change because of GHS?
If you don’t know these answers you might not know GHS. Many of our customers are receiving a one hour class to explain the new regulation. This time frame may seem adequate but do your employees really understand what a SINGLE TARGET ORGAN EXPOSURE CATAGORY 3 really is? How about a category 1A CARCINOGEN, where did the letters come from. If you have these or similar questions give us a call we know GHS and you will too.
