OSHA standards require training and evaluation of employee forklift operators. This program will provide required classroom training for operators of powered industrial trucks to comply with OSHA. The formal training utilizes videos, written tests, and other visual aids to help decrease the employer’s potential liability from an operator’s mistake which could damage material and property or cause serious injury or death. Upon successful completion of this program, each student will receive an operator’s manual, certificate of completion of the classroom training, and an operator’s identification card to be signed by his/her employer upon completion of the hands-on training and evaluation of competency. Employers must also provide their employees with hands-on training & evaluation with their equipment at their work site.
