FAQ: Forklift Training & OSHA Certification

It’s OSHA-required training for anyone who operates powered industrial trucks. Certification includes classroom instruction, hands-on training, and a performance evaluation.

OSHA requires re-certification every three years, or sooner if an operator is involved in an incident or your facility changes equipment or layout.

Partially. Formal instruction can be done online, but OSHA requires in-person evaluations and hands-on training—services we provide.

Individuals must currently be employed and have their employer set up training or certification.
