OSHA requires any employee operating a powered industrial truck (PIT) to be trained and evaluated prior to operation. The Safe & Smart® Forklift Trainer Certification Program gives your trainers the knowledge, skills and experience to train your company’s forklift operators and certify them to operate safely at your company. With forklift safety violations consistently appearing on OSHA’s list of Most Cited Standards, being able to deliver effective training is key to preventing accidents, avoiding fines and saving your company from high workers’ comp costs and lost productivity.
We have the unique experience to train your operators on the hazards and requirements of any powered industrial truck (PIT), 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
Once trained, your trainers will be prepared to effectively deliver J. J. Keller’s Safe & Smart® program in the classroom, on the range and concluding with final certification.

Forklift Safety & Training
Forklift safety has seen a renewed focus recently with the observance of National Forklift Safety Day, a revised ANSI lift truck industry standard, and a regulatory agenda item to revise the OSHA standard. The increased focus is with good reason: powered industrial trucks (PIT) continue to be in heavy use throughout industry, and continue to be a source of severe injuries to workers.
Training Improves Driver Retention
Driver retention has always been an Achilles heel for the trucking industry. Driver shortages and high turnover rates have been the norm for years. But driver retention will become an even more critical issue in the future as driver shortages and turnover rates are expected to climb dramatically over the next several years.
