Our on-site Forklift Operator Training Course provides OSHA-compliant instruction for both new and experienced operators. This forklift certification program emphasizes workplace safety, hazard awareness, and proper forklift operation to reduce the risk of accidents. By completing this course, participants meet OSHA forklift training requirements and gain essential skills to operate forklifts safely and efficiently.
The training combines classroom instruction with practical application. Participants learn OSHA forklift safety standards, operational guidelines, and best practices for preventing workplace injuries. The hands-on portion takes place at the employer’s facility using their own equipment, allowing operators to practice in real-world scenarios that reflect their actual work environment. This ensures trainees build confidence and competence with the forklifts they will use daily.
Upon successful completion, participants receive a wallet-sized OSHA forklift certification card and an official operator evaluation record for their employer’s files. These credentials verify compliance with OSHA forklift requirements and provide both employees and employers with assurance that operators are properly trained, certified, and ready to work safely.
