Let our specialized trainers provide a holistic, hands-on approach to forklift operator training. Because forklifts and other powered industrial trucks are responsible for thousands of injuries and citations each year, OSHA’s Powered Industrial Trucks Standard 29 CFR 1910.178 requires operators to undergo stringent initial training, evaluation and certification, with a reevaluation every three years.
The Safe & Smart® Forklift Operator Training Program will give your employees the knowledge and skills to prevent accidents, avoid fines and save your company from high workers’ comp costs and lost productivity.
Our veteran instructors can train your operators on the hazards and requirements of any powered industrial truck, including:
- Warehouse forklift
- Motorized pallet jack
- Order picker
- Man-up
- Reach truck
- Stand-up forklift
- Hyster forklift
- Cherry picker
- Yale forklift
- Raymond forklift
- Skytrak forklift
- Moffett truck-mounted forklift
- And more
