Yes, OSHA mandates that all forklift operators take a forklift operator training course. Our training program takes place at your facility and we train your operators specifically on each type of lift truck they’re using. Our program consists of classroom and hands-on training, where your operators will be instructed on truck inspections, safe-operating practices and safe handling of refueling and batteries. We will issue operator’s licenses and certificates that are recognized by OSHA and your insurance carrier. You can learn more by visiting out Forklift Safety Training Page or calling our Training Coordinator at (732)-588-1500.
