How much is enough?
Are we really safe?

Over the last 15 years, SMS has developed innovative safety systems that have helped our customers achieve improvements across many industries. One of our key focus areas is distribution and lift truck safety. SMS’ proven Powered Industrial Truck System addresses the requirements of OSHA’s 1910.178 Powered Industrial Truck standard and necessary best practice elements. The three components are the PIT program, the ICON™ process, and the OCR™ process.

SMS can assist you in:

  • Bringing 1910.178 and best practices into your work place using the PIT program’s structured process so that operations, HR, safety staff and lift drivers clearly understand and accept their role.
  • Making it easy to instill employee ownership and coach safe lift operating behavior using the ICON™ principles.
  • Creating a culture of observation, coaching, and reinforcement using the OCR™process.

  SMS begins with an in-depth baseline evaluation of your current programs and practices.
  SMS then works with your stakeholders to customize a Powered Industrial Truck program to fit your organizational culture.
  SMS provides you a complete written program that includes materials for instruction, presentation, observation and coaching, plus a launch campaign.
  SMS helps you reinforce good practices with scheduled visits, reviews, training, and mentoring.
