Forklift Operator Training
The forklift standards set forth by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) require employers to ascertain that all designated forklift operators are properly trained and certified prior to operating any powered industrial truck in the workplace. Likewise, on an annual basis employers are required to review each operator's performance and provide refresher training as needed.
All participants will be required to pass a final examination, as well as a practical skill test demonstrating their ability to safely and properly handle forklift machinery. Upon success each participant will receive a Certificate of Completion.
