OPERATOR QUALIFICATIONS
Only trained and authorized persons are allowed to op-
erate the powered floor cleaner. Operators of powered
floor cleaners must be qualified with the visual, acous-
tic, physical and mental abilities needed to operate the
equipment safely.
OPERATOR TRAINING
Personnel who have not been trained in the operation of
powered floor cleaners may only use a floor cleaner for
training purposes, under the direct supervision of the
trainer. This training should be conducted in an area
away from other trucks, obstacles and pedestrians.
The operator training program should include the user's
guidelines for the location where the trainee will operate
the floor cleaner, the operating conditions for that loca-
tion, and the specific floor cleaner the trainee will oper-
ate. The training program must be presented to all new
operators regardless of previous experience.
The training body must inform the trainee of the follow-
ing:
1

powered floor cleaner safely as instructed in the
training program.
2
Unsafe or improper operation of a powered floor
cleaner can result in the following: Death or serious
injury to the operator or other persons; damage to
the powered floor cleaner or other objects.
English
The training program should highlight safe and proper
operation to prevent injury to the operator and others,
and to prevent property damage, and should cover the

operation or the simulated execution of all tasks
in the company, such as maneuvering, driving,
stopping, starting and other activities under the
conditions encountered when operating the pow-
ered floor cleaner.
EXAMINATION, RE-TRAINING AND
APPLICATION
1
During the training, the employer must provide both
performance tests and oral and / or written tests to
measure the operator's skills and knowledge in
meeting the requirements of the standard. Employ-
ers can delegate such tests to others, but remain re-
sponsible for the tests. Corresponding records are
to be kept.
2
Operators are to be retrained when new equipment
is introduced, existing equipment is upgraded, oper-
ating conditions change, or an operator's perfor-
mance is unsatisfactory.
3
The user is responsible for ensuring the safe use of
the powered floor cleaner in accordance with the
provisions of this standard.
