This course helps to fulfill OSHA's instructional training requirements for forklift certification as follows:
- General Industry: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178
- Construction: OSHA 29 CFR 1926.602(d) and 1926.451(g)(2)
- Oil and Gas: OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178
- Maritime: OSHA 29 CFR 1917.43 and OSHA 29 CFR 1918.65
- Agriculture: OSHA 29 CFR 1928.57(a)(6)
To be fully certified, the student must also demonstrate to the employer adequate knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) to safely operate forklifts to a competent person.
The employer is ultimately responsible for certifying that the operator is qualified to operate forklifts. This certification occurs when a competent person evaluates the operator and confirms their adequate proficiency.
