Worker Safety Net offers both classroom and hands-on qualification training.
OSHA's Powered Industrial Truck (Forklift) Standard, 1910.178, requires forklift training for anyone who operates a powered industrial truck, including a lift truck. This course encourages participants to take an active role by observing, analyzing and discussing recommended forklift safety practices. Employers must document operators have been trained and evaluated every 3 years. Worker Safety Net recommends operators receive classroom retraining annually to maintain proficiency.
All training is held in English only. Students must be able to read, write and converse in English.
Travel and other fees may apply.
