Stinger Truck Safety Training
Posted by Gerry Asher on October 23, 2008Does your company have Stinger Trucks?
Stinger Trucks, also known as Scout Truck or Bin Truck, are a crucial part of the Waste Management and Municipality industry. These unique vehicles are both a truck and a forklift. Currently, OSHA does not have specific standards for the safe use of a Stinger Truck. However, ANSI has published safety standards for Mobile Refuse Collection and Compaction Equipment, which address safe operation. This program was developed using the ANSI standards Z245 [specifically 245.1]. Other guidelines that we used are from several applicable Cal/OSHA standards including §3650 (Industrial Trucks), §4345 (Trash Collection Equipment), and the California Vehicle Code (CVC).
This 5-hour course is designed to train students in the safe operation and use while working with and around Stinger Trucks. It is not designed to provide a driver’s license to anyone or teach an individual how to drive a Stinger Track. Operators MUST have a valid CA driver’s license when operating on city, state or federal roads. Training will cover such topics as:
- Engineering Principles
- Pre-Shift Inspection
- Operating Procedures
- Spotter Safety
- Hand Signals
