This OSHA forklift training certification course is tailored for individuals aiming to acquire OSHA-compliant forklift operator certification. Participants will gain skills in the safe operation of forklifts, also known as powered industrial trucks, essential for construction and general industry applications.
To legally operate these machines, operators must be at least 18 years old. Our comprehensive online forklift certification classes cover a range of forklift types, preparing you for diverse workplace requirements:
- Class I: Electric motor rider trucks

- Class IV: Internal combustion engine trucks (solid/cushion tires)
- Class V: Internal combustion engine trucks (pneumatic tires)

This course is specifically designed for those in the construction, general industry, maritime, and agricultural sectors unless exempt by applicable OSHA standards. It does not apply to compressed air or nonflammable compressed gas-operated industrial trucks, nor to farm vehicles, nor to vehicles intended primarily for earth moving or over-the-road hauling.
To earn your OSHA forklift certificate, you must complete each of the course's four modules, and pass a comprehensive final exam. You have an unlimited number of attempts to pass the final exam.
You have 120 minutes to complete the final exam, which includes 20 questions and covers all course topics. You must score at least 70% to pass the exam.
Upon passing the final exam, you'll need hands-on training and a workplace performance evaluation, as mandated by OSHA, to obtain your official forklift license. OSHAcademy provides a Forklift Operator Evaluation Form for your employer to assess your proficiency. Evaluation areas include:

After passing the evaluation and completing necessary paperwork, you'll be officially forklift certified by your employer, in line with OSHA certification standards.
