Join us this month at the Warren County Safety Council as we delve into the critical topic of Forklift Safety. Forklifts play a vital role in various industries, but they can pose significant risks if not operated properly.

This session will cover:

Best Practices for Safe Operation: Learn the essential guidelines for operating forklifts safely, including load handling and stability.

Common Hazards: Identify potential dangers associated with forklift operation and how to mitigate them.

Training and Certification: Understand the importance of proper training and the certification process for forklift operators.

Real-Life Case Studies: Hear about incidents and lessons learned to reinforce the importance of safety in the workplace.

Whether you're a manager, operator, or safety officer, this meeting will equip you with the knowledge and tools necessary to enhance forklift safety in your organization.

Our guest speaker for this month is Mike Hance. Mike has been in the material handling industry since 1985. He joined EQD in 1998 because of their commitment to developing and promoting employees. Prior to that he was a lead mechanic for Verst Group Logistics, a large 3PL warehousing and logistics company.

In his time with EQD, Mike has been a mechanic, salesman and part of the training team. He has worked in training since 2000, except for three years that he spent with sales.

Mike specializes in electric products, as well as batteries and chargers. His favorite part of being on the PLC team is helping to develop technicians. According to him, there’s nothing better than having a tech say they can’t wait until a forklift breaks so they can use what they’ve learned to diagnose the issue.

Mike’s favorite part of working for EQD is getting to work with the technical support team where he is surrounded by an amazing, incredibly intelligent group of people that he learns from every day.

In his free time, Mike enjoys teaching target archery to both kids and adults.
