Go Beyond the Industrial Truck Compliance Reporting

Industrial truck OSHA reporting is what every company that has powered industrial trucks (PIT) is to maintain for compliance. However, when we take a look at industrial truck OSHA reporting, it’s the basics of information that can be captured with a forklift safety system. If management wants to gain further insights into their facilities then capturing the information will make industrial truck OSHA reporting easy as well as real-time data on impacts, near misses, pedestrian and object detection. Let’s take a closer look.

What is Industrial truck OSHA Reporting?

Industrial truck OSHA reporting is what is required by all companies that use powered industrial trucks. Each truck is to be inspected prior to use to ensure safe use for the forklift driver and all those around the forklift. The inspection also ensures maximum output without downtime in a safe and effective manner. In order for this to happen, a series of questions must be answered truthfully and with care. These answers are to be recorded and stored for maintenance to use, but also for OSHA inspectors to check in the event an accident occurs. If so, they will closely inspect the reports to uncover where the problem occurred.

Digitizing the OSHA Reporting

Enter the paper-based forklift inspection checklist questions directly into the telemetry Dashboard. Here you will be able to put them in the order you want to appear each time, or you can set the toggle switch on to randomize the questions. This is an efficient way to ensure the forklift operator reads each question and answers them as honestly as possible. The better the reading and answering, the better the data you’ll get.

Once it’s entered, all you need to do is have the forklift operator begin the shift. As soon as the forklift operator scans the badge, the first question comes up. When done, all of that data is captured in the Dashboard. 

One of the most robust ways of capturing and analyzing data is with a forklift safety system. This system by SIERA.AI captures data as it moves throughout the facility, even in the deepest corners. It transmits the data from the tablet during the forklift inspection directly to the telemetry Dashboard where it can be reviewed, analyzed and generate a report.

Reporting

Industrial truck OSHA reporting is easily found in the Dashboard. There are three report areas quickly found under the ‘Report’ tab.

• Inspection Reports – this one is key for the industrial truck OSHA reporting. This is where all of the forklift inspection results live. If an OSHA auditor asks for information, all you ask is for what dates and worksites. If that’s enough, great, or you can further refine the details with filters. These include asset, asset type or inspected by or results. This is done in seconds and the report is generated.
• Incident Reports – A great report for management where analysis can be done according to ‘near-misses’, low, medium and high impacts. Look under similar filters and analyze if there is an area within a facility that needs further inspection or analysis.
• Unauthorized Access – A vital report of the type of behaviors that are being experienced in the facility. This report allows you to identify who, where, what time and even know when was the last time the forklift was in use.

Summary

Industrial truck OSHA reporting is key to maintaining compliance. But reporting shouldn’t stop there. Gaining future insights into your facility can help you identify issues before they mature.
