Meet OSHA Standards With Our Training Programs

OSHA requires employers to ensure that each forklift operator is competent to operate a powered industrial truck safely, as demonstrated by the successful completion of forklift safety training and evaluation.

Comprehensive Forklift Safety Classes

Select Equipment provides forklift safety training and evaluation at our Forklift Training Center or at your location. Our forklift safety training and evaluation has two segments: classroom instruction and a hands-on performance evaluation. We offer classes in English and Spanish for your convenience.

The classroom portion covers the following topics:

Regulatory overview
Forklift classifications
Engineering principles
Operator responsibilities
Maintenance and inspection
Safe operating rules
Written exam

Each student is required to go through a “hands-on” performance evaluation. Each driver receives a certificate that is valid for 3 years for the machine classification they were tested on. If an employee is required to drive a different type of machine in the future, they will need to be retested and a new certificate is needed.
