What online training covers

Online courses are OSHA-aligned knowledge training for 29 CFR 1910.178 (Powered Industrial Trucks) and related equipment topics. Completing a course:

  • does not replace the employer duty to perform site-specific practical evaluation and to authorize only trained operators on that employer equipment, workplace, and loads.

The digital wallet card issued after a passing knowledge check is a record of completed knowledge training, issued for 3 years (36 months). It is not proof that practical evaluation is done.

The employer must still complete (and periodically repeat) a site-specific practical evaluation. OSHA also expects evaluation at least every three years, and sooner after an accident or when performance indicates a need for refresher training.

Online knowledge training is suitable for both new and experienced operators. Hands-on evaluation is a separate step.
