Forklift
Operators: Pass a Written Test and a Drivers Test and be certified. After you are certified, the employer must still determine that you are qualified and safe on their specific equipment and in their specific facility. They will have their own requirements and procedures you must learn before they authorize you to operate their forklifts. If you are involved in an accident or a near-miss or have been observed to have been observed to operate the vehicle in an unsafe manner, OSHA requires that you take refresher training. OSHA certification is valid for three years.
Forklift
Trainers: Meet the OSHA Forklift OPERATOR requirements plus the TRAINER
requirements. CFR 1910.178 (l)(2)(iii) All operator training and evaluation shall be conducted by persons who have the knowledge, training, and experience to train powered industrial truck operators and evaluate their competence.
Precautions:
This
training is designed specifically and exclusively for OSHA safety code
compliance and OSHA powered industrial truck operator certification.
Additional training, restrictions, licensing or other procedures may apply.
Check your state, municipal, fire department, union, employer and any local
and specific agencies and jurisdictions. All forklift operators must be at
least 18 years of age per U.S. Federal Department of Labor - Safety &
Health Information Bulletin
SHIB 03-09-30.
