BOS 3001 Unit V Scholarly Activity
For this assignment, your boss has asked you to focus solely on forklift safety.
Using what you have learned about controlling hazardous energy, write a step-by-step procedure on how to work on that forklift safely. Your procedure must be at least one page in length, while being descriptive enough that someone else could use it to perform the work safely on the equipment.
Finally, on a separate page, you will need to prove to your boss that you can correctly calculate the safe load capacity when using a forklift. Your boss has provided with OSHA load composition document to assist you. Click the link below to access this information.
