Course Description
A Zoom Boom, or telescopic lift truck, is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move materials short distances. The Zoom Boom falls under the same training requirements as a lift truck or forklift and has become an indispensable piece of equipment in manufacturing and warehousing operations.
OSHA statistics indicate that there are roughly 85 zoom boom fatalities and 34,900 serious injuries each year. One of the leading factors in most of these accidents is lack of training. With a proper training program, employers and employees can ensure a safe work environment when using this equipment.
This 8 hour Zoom Boom course is designed to foster and develop a professional, willing and co-operative attitude towards safe lift truck operation.
