The poster is 30 inches wide and 45 inches tall. ALI said that it can be hung in a service bay, break room, or training room as a daily workplace safety reminder.
“The new Safety Tips Poster is a highly visible and low-cost way to remind lift operators everywhere, from vocational schools to car dealers, independent repair shops, to fleet maintenance garages, that safety is always a priority,” said R.W. “Bob” O’Gorman, ALI president.
Both the poster and the safety tips card are available from ALI member companies. They can also be ordered from ALI at www.autolift.org/ali-store. Both are copyrighted and may not be reproduced without written permission from ALI.
