November 18, 2026 Take a Load Off: Key OSHA Compliance Concerns with Cranes, Forklifts and other Material Handling Equipment

November 18, 2026 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (CST)

Description

Material handling equipment such as cranes, forklifts, hoists, and other lifting devices plays a critical role in manufacturing operations, but it also presents some of the most significant safety and compliance challenges employers face. OSHA continues to closely scrutinize these activities, and violations involving powered industrial trucks, overhead cranes, and related equipment routinely rank among the agency's most frequently cited standards. 

For manufacturers, understanding common compliance pitfalls is essential to preventing injuries, avoiding costly citations, and maintaining efficient operations. Join us for an engaging and practical discussion of the most common mistakes manufacturers make when using material handling equipment. 

The program will review key OSHA enforcement priorities, recent compliance trends, and recurring issues identified during inspections involving cranes, forklifts, and other lifting and moving devices. Attendees will also learn proven safety practices that can help reduce risk while strengthening workplace safety programs. 

Who Should Attend: Safety professionals, operations managers, plant managers, HR professionals, environmental health and safety personnel, and anyone responsible for OSHA compliance and workplace safety within manufacturing facilities. 

Presented by: Aaron Gelb Partner Conn Maciel Carey LLP Aaron Gelb is a partner in Conn Maciel Carey’s Chicago office, a nationally recognized OSHA defense and workplace safety law firm. Aaron regularly advises manufacturers and employers across the country on OSHA compliance, enforcement, and litigation matters and has been recognized by Chambers USA among the nation's leading OSHA attorneys.
