The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has printed a limited supply of ready-to-use Rough Terrain Forklift Safety Decals to meet demand for the OSHA-approved machine-operator certification sticker. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) earlier this year approved the AEM decal, and the association offered companies a free PDF download to make customized labels. In response to requests, the decal is now available as a ready-to-apply sticker for a modest fee, with discounts for AEM member companies and quantity orders. To further spread the word about safe machine operation, the PDF decal artwork is still available as a free download, and EPS artwork files can also be obtained on request.

Equipment manufacturers working through AEM's Rough Terrain Forklift Council developed the decal, which signifies that the machine should be operated only by personnel who have received employer certification of training and evaluation according to relevant OSHA standards. AEM member manufacturers are committed to fostering safe machine operation, and the decal reinforces the message that only qualified users should execute the complex assignments that this product is designed to perform.

The decal can be ordered from the AEM Store on the association's website (www.aem.org). All AEM safety manuals, videos and related safety and training products are available online at http://shop.aem.org.
